Perfect drop caps that don't require jumping through hoops, for example? You select how many lines the drop cap should be, and KFX does the rest. It is even smart enough to reduce the size when the font gets too large. Say, a 3 line drop cap automatically changes to a 2 line drop cap at a certain font size and line spacing. Wider line spacing jumps from 3 to 2 sooner, as expected.
The KF8 version of a book with drop caps does not look quite as nice. Selecting the drop cap still highlights the whole word for lookup in dictionary whether you have the kf8 or kfx version.
Now tell me again which minor changes to the KF8 renderer need to be done to have perfect drop caps?
