[Tex/LaTex] Is it possible to create a calligraphic first letter for a chapter AND have a header or a footer

calligraphyheader-footer

Is it possible to create a calligraphic first letter for a chapter AND have a header or a footer? Each time I try to have a calligraphic initial and a header, the header won't show up.

Best Answer

If I understood the question well, here is an example using both drop caps (lettrine) and headers on the first page of a chapter:

\documentclass{scrbook}

\usepackage{scrpage2}
\usepackage{lettrine}

\chead[My normal heading]{My chapter heading}
\renewcommand*{\chapterpagestyle}{scrheadings}
\pagestyle{scrplain}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\chapter{A first chapter}

\lettrine{T}{his is the first line}. \lipsum

\end{document}
