In a paper I'm writing, there are words using the alphabet $sf D,R$. It will be very convenient to add ornated versions as in the picture below, but I have no idea how to create something that is scalable and can be used in text (as opposed to being an included image); hence, no included code.
The little circles can be bullets, and are about flush with the top/bottom of their respective letters, and could be larger than shown.
