How can I use the Goudy Initialen font with Lettrine for the first drop letter of a paragraph? I can't understand from the documentation how to use LettrineFontHook or LettrineFont to do this?

Your question is a bit vague without an MWE, but if the problem is what I think it is, the answer would be something like:
\documentclass[DIV=9,paper=a5,pagesize]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{fontspec,blindtext,lettrine}
\newfontfamily\goudy[Scale=6]{Goudy Initialen}
\renewcommand*{\LettrineFont}{\goudy}
\begin{document}
\lettrine[lines=4]{L}{orem ipsum}
\blindtext\blindtext\blindtext
\end{document}
This uses the TrueType version of the font, as provided by Dieter Steffmann himself. I think someone did a conversion to Type1 once, for use with pdfTeX, but since you seem to be on Xe/LuaTeX, you might as well use the original version.

Yes it was that simple. I missed \newfontfamily\goudy[Scale=6]{Goudy Initialen}" as the first statement. Thanks – ramonskovitch Jun 04 '13 at 22:33
