Yeah, I can understand it would depend on the Caps height and x height written into the font, the ascender line relatve to the actual size of the glyph, but I would have thought that that could be addressed through the margin settings, and that if anything using an embedded font for the dropped cap, and calibrating the display to that, would if anything improve the likelihood of success.

If I were making a commercial epub, or one that needed to function on a device other than my Kobo, then I'd probably do what David (DNSB) suggested and embed graphics for the dropped caps.

I accept what you're saying, Anak, but I'd still like to try to get it to work. It doesn't seem to me like it should be so problematic; it should be a lot more straightforward, don't you think?
