I'd be interested to get a copy of your files.

On a related note, I realized that the Plain TeX solution I posted a  
few days ago about using Acorn with the lettrine package is not good--- 
it does not permit lettrine to adjust the size of the Acorn font. It  
does work correctly if you substitute the line

\newcommand*\Acorn{\usefont{U}{Acorn}{xl}{n}}

in place of

\font\Acorn Acorn at 22pt

The lettrine package produces warnings about unavailable font sizes in  
cmr unless you add the line

\usepackage{type1cm}.
