Greetings,
If you run the following example with the current beta you will see that the second and subsequent lines of the paragraph are pushed down below the extent of the drop cap. This behavior appeared sometime after 2011.10.24. Can anyone explain what is happening and suggest a solution?
\usemodule[lettrine] \showgrid
\def\myhook {\definefontsynonym[LettrineFont][eusm10]} \setuplettrine [Lines=5, FontHook={\red\myhook}, Findent=0.2em, Nindent=0.2em, Oversize=1.0, Hang=0.15]
\setuplayout [grid=yes]
\starttext
\lettrine{W}{e thrive} in information||thick worlds because of our marvelous and everyday capacity to select, edit, single out, structure, highlight, group, pair, merge, harmonize, synthesize, focus, organize, condense, reduce, boil down, choose, categorize, catalog, classify, list, abstract, scan, look into, idealize, isolate, discriminate, distinguish, screen, pigeonhole, pick over, sort, integrate, blend, inspect, filter, lump, skip, smooth, chunk, average, approximate, cluster, aggregate, outline, summarize, itemize, review, dip into, flip through, browse, glance into, leaf through, skim, refine, enumerate, glean, synopsize, winnow the wheat from the chaff and separate the sheep from the goats.
\stoptext
With kind regards,

I have this problem too… most frustrating :-\ I guess the drop-cap is being counted as part of the line, and thereby increasing the line height.

better try:
%D For the moment here: dropped caps redone. In addition to the %D parameters shown in the example you can use the \type {style} and %D more low level \type {font} keys to set up the font where %D the first one wins. If you don't like the behaviour you can always %D roll out your own command. %D %D \starttyping %D \placeinitial \input ward \par \input ward \par \placeinitial \input tufte %D %D \setupinitial %D [location=text, %D n=2, %D color=darkred, %D distance=-1em, %D hoffset=1em, %D voffset=-3ex, %D before=\blank] %D %D \placeinitial \input ward \par \input ward \placeinitial \input tufte %D \stoptyping
(dropping caps is something that can interfere with anything else that synchronizes at the start of a paragraph)

Like \definetextbackground [Highlight] [location=paragraph] ?

yes, because that will put some positional info in front (you can try to say: \tracepositions)
