Hi Hans,
I apologize for being so late to answer your message and test the new code
about dropped capitals and fancy first lines (have been travelling sometime
without access to the Internet).
It seems that your changes have broken \placeinitial now: the following results
in an error:
\starttext
\placeinitial \input ward.tex \par
\input ward.tex
\stoptext
Hopefully fixed ... in the process i decided to experiment with a better
auto sizing .. there is now
SomeFont ht somedimen : scale to ascender height
SomeFont cp somedimen : scale to X height
example:
\setupbodyfont[dejavu]
\starttext
\start \showstruts
{\type{at}: TEST \strut\definedfont[Normal at 10pt] TEST}
{\type{ht}: TEST \strut\definedfont[Normal ht \the\strutht] TEST}
{\type{cp}: TEST \strut\definedfont[Normal cp \the\strutht] TEST}
\placeinitial \strut \input ward.tex
\start
\setupinitial[style=\bfd,voffset=.25\lineheight,n=1]
\placeinitial \strut \input ward.tex \par
\stop
\start
\setupinitial[font=Bold at 60pt]
\placeinitial \strut \input ward.tex \par
\stop
\start
\setupinitial[font=Bold at 60pt,voffset=2\lineheight]
\placeinitial \strut \input ward.tex \par
\stop
\start
\setupinitial[font=Bold cp \measure{initial:n},n=4,hoffset=.5em]
\placeinitial \strut \input ward.tex \par
\stop
\stoptext
