The OP did say he was creating a drop cap using the code he posted. Yes, what he is generating is technically an initial cap which is probably the easiest to code. Hopefully, he will get some help in generating code that will result in a drop cap if that is what he wants.
If worse comes to worse, using images tends to be the best answer for drop caps across multiple platforms.
One of the earliest guides I ran into is
Drop Caps: Historical Use And Current Best Practices With CSS. One of the things I liked is that she did not present any one best answer but instead looked at the various ways of doing drop caps.
I seem to remember that there was another useful entry on Elizabeth Castro's Pigs, Gourds and Wikis page but I can no longer locate it.
