Hi,
Yes Hraban it works outside in normal text flow. When I do e.g.
*{\InitialCapFont test in normal text flow}* the text '/test in normal
text flow/' is rendered correctly in the Antykwa-Poltawskiego font.
Found out that the following does work with the *\placeinitial* command
Hi,
Unfortunately it doesn't help Keith, sorry!
I tried to solve it like this:
*\color[MyColor]{\placeinitial{K}}*
A bit overkill but it works!
Anyway, thanks for your suggestion!

the \placeinitial command but coloring like:
*\definecolor[MyColor] [r=.76,g=.72,b=.48]**
**\setupinitial[color=\MyColor,font=Bold sa 4,distance=0pt,n=3]*
doesn't seem to work! Is this as expected behaviour or a possible issue?
Regards,
Gerard Verhaag
Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion Alan! I've been using lettrine all the time,
without knowing it was actually obsolete, sorry!
I'm now trying the \placeinitial command but coloring like:
*\definecolor[MyColor] [r=.76,g=.72,b=.48]**
**\setupinitial[color=\MyColor,font=Bold sa 4,distance=0pt,n=3
In mkiv and mkxl, we use
\placeinitial
rather than the obsolete (mkii) lettrine module.
See also \setupinitial.

The mkiv output is the desired effect. It works fine in lmtx if I do
peset in small

If that first letter is Љ (or other two letters that transliterate as
digraphs), then the second letter of the digraph is not typeset in small
caps because
it gets injected before the group that turns on small caps.
For example:
\placeinitial

The output shows that the second paragraph is not indented beyond the
bounding box of the drop-cap, resulting in an overlap. This isn't a
problem when the first paragraph spans two or more lines.
Any ideas for how to resolve
This has come up before on the mailing list, but I was wondering if LMTX
has a more elegant solution than using a transparent/invisible capture of
the drop-cap.
Consider:
\setupinitial[n=2, style=\tfd,
location=text]\setuphead[chapter][after={\placeinitial}]
\starttext
\chapter

You are welcome. Obviously, it's a dirty trick. For example, it falls
down if we have a non-white background on our page.
Hopefully LMTX won't take long to update.
