I bet I could break your One Drop To Rule Them All markup with my normal settings. What size line height to do you need for your One Drop to work?

Now, Wolfie--do you have any idea how much I invested, developing the ODTRTA caps? I ain't tellin' you, brutha. I loves you too, but...that's a bridge too far. The trick is not the actual size, per se.
BTW, what you're talking about are
Raised Initials, rather than Drops. Most publishers roll with RIs, because while they mess up the leading on that first line (due to the line adjusting for descender space), it's far far less likely to go bonkers than a Dropbox.

Wolfie, you know as well as I that Turtle already knows this. He's been doing this a very long time, too. Those of us in the biz all know this,
already. Each of us makes a choice, about which things we'll live with, what we won't...it's highly individualized. And to some extent, it's dependent on the customers and their demands, too.
