You could fiddle with the top margin value to pull your dropcaps up a bit, but, IMHO, it's simply not worth the hassle, since the resulting .azw3 file might display fine on a Kindle Fire but not on an eInk based Kindle or vice versa.
Since the default Kindle fonts natively support small caps, I'd recommend replacing the dropcap and the following letters with bold smallcaps. Alternatively, you could only make the initial letter larger and bold.
Since KF8 supports
text-transform in stylesheets, you could also style the first word to display as all caps in ADE (and non-KF8 mobis) and small caps in KF8. For example:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
span.sc {font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: bold; }
span.sc2 {text-transform: lowercase; font-variant: small-caps; font-weight: bold; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p><span class="sc">M</span><span class="sc2">ORALISTS</span> and philosophers have adjudged those who throw temptation in the way of the erring, equally guilty with those who are thereby led into evil.</p>
