Ideally, \DropCap would notice a piece of leading punctuation and drop it as well. Instead, it seems to look at the punctuation and give up.
Example: \def\Drop {\DroppedCaps {} {Serif} {4\baselineskip} {2pt} {2\baselineskip} {3}} \starttext {\Drop A} \input knuth \page {\Drop “A} \input knuth \page \stoptext Advice?
