Re: [NTG-context] Lettrine module not working?!
Hi all, Alan, Pablo, many thanks for your help concerning the \placeinitial command. Next time I'll try a minimal example so that anyone might be able to quickly test it with their current ConTeXt installation! Sorry for any inconvenience!

Hi Geert, if you only provide commands, it is really hard to tell what is going on. Please, always provide complete samples (otherwise, most of the help is figuring out what the issue is really about).

Hi Geert,
this works for me:
\definefont[InitialCapFont][name:antpoltcondregular*default sa 4]
%\setupinitial[style={\switchtobodyfont[helvetica]}]
\setupinitial[color=red,distance=6pt,n=3, style=\InitialCapFont]
\starttext
\setinitial\input zapf
\stoptext
BTW, I think there is an issue (that might be a bug), when either style
or font are in use, size is not automatically adapted.
Could anyone confirm with the commented line?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Re: [NTG-context] Lettrine module not working?!
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:
*\setupinitial[color=MyColor,distance=6pt,n=3,font=name:antpoltcondregular*default
sa 4]*
So something weird is happening I suppose!

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!

Re: [NTG-context] Lettrine module not working?!
In mkiv and mkxl, we use
\placeinitial
rather than the obsolete (mkii) lettrine module.
See also \setupinitial.
