Bigger starting letters (ekthesis in uncials)

Recommended Posts

When I read the tagged uncial fonts I have a hard time finding the beginnings of paragraphs.  In a normal uncial text you can find them by three details:

 

  1. A dot (stigme) at the end of a thought unit
  2. A space after the thought unit
  3. A big fat capital letter at the beginning of the next line (Exthesis)

It would take loads of extra time to add the first two to the tagged uncial text.  (Though it would not be wasted time)

 

In the meantime, would it be possible to have that first letter of the paragraph larger?  In the normal uncial texts those beginning letters are two, sometimes three times the size of the rest. That would be useful for reading.  Also, if possible, having them stick out to the left of the left margin (ekthesis) would be great. But, if that too is a massive undertaking, then, I'd settle for just having a larger letter to start the line.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve
