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 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
