The screen captures are from GrannyGrump's MR book The Wouldbegoods. She indeed embedded a font for initials and smallcaps. The relevant code is:

HTML

Code:
 <p class="firstpara"><span class="firstletter">‘C</span><span class="firstwords">hildren are like jam</span>: all very well in the proper place, but you can’t stand them all over the shop&nbsp;– eh, what?’</p>
CSS

Spoiler:
Code:
@font-face {
font-family: "titling";
src: url("../Fonts/Fontin-Bold.ttf") format("truetype");
}

@font-face {
font-family: "smcaps";
src: url("../Fonts/Fontin-SmallCaps.ttf") format("truetype")
}

.firstpara
{
text-indent: 0 !important;
}

.firstletter
{
font-family: titling;
font-size: 125%;
}
.firstwords
{
font-family: smcaps;
font-size: 104%; 
text-indent: 0 !important;
}

.smcaps
{
font-family: smcaps;
font-size: 104%; 
}


Do you happen to know any workaround other than removing the embedded fonts?

Shouldn't it be the other way around???
