The inital seed is 0xD971.  The multiplier is 0xCE6D, the adder is 0x58BF.
There are actualy 2 other adders and multipliers that are also used
and the seed number is variable.  The processtring operator from the
font initializer is set up to take a variety of parameters, including
a key-selection (3 keys),and an arbitrary itialization seed.  It also
will either encrypt or decrypt, depending on whether you pass it a 1
or 0 for the encrypt or decrypt flag.
