Charles, et al- Below is my implementation, based on using a <span> for the first letter instead of the first-letter pseudo class. Should work the same for the pseudo-class, but I'm not positive.
This implementation was based off an article I found on the web, but I can't locate it at the moment. .dropCap { float:left; display:block; font-size:3.25em; line-height:80%; padding: 0.2ex 0.2ex 0 0.2ex; width:auto; text-align:center; } Tweaking for your given situation would be necessary.
