Now you're confusing me If you're embedding the fancy font, the solution is the one you're already using. Namely:

• Find the fancy initial font file you want - often only available in Regular.
• Embed in your usual way, with something like the following (substitute your own values, of course)
  HTML:

  <p class="noindent"><span="dropcap">T</span>his is a fancy initial font.</p>

  CSS:

  @font-face {font-family: "Fancy font"; src: url('../Fonts/Fancy font.ttf')}
  
  .dropcap{
      float:left;
      font-family: "Fancy font", serif;
      font-size:3em;
      font-weight:bold;
      line-height:0.8em;
      margin-left:0.1em;
      margin-right:0.1em;
      margin-top:-0.1em
  }
