Correction:
Sample 1 shows what I meant about shifting lines.
But dgatwood is right when saying it's possible with steady margins. After trying several relations between font-size, line-height and margin-bottom I found this for the second example:
.dropcap {
display: block;
float: left;
font-size: 2.2em;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 1.2em;
margin-bottom: -0.2em;
margin-top: 0em;
width: 1em (better 1.1em for serifs)
}
This seems to be acceptable.
Sorry for the confusion.
George
