You are right; the OP called drop cap what it was actually a raised cap. Said that, all this thread is about how to implement "raised caps" in Kindle devices. I think there is no problem to handle DROP caps in Kindle (that is, Kindles that support .kf8).
OK, thanks. So the statement "Dropcap modifies line height" is false? It's only raised caps that affect the line height?

Yes, it is.

That's right. Raised caps are affected by the line height limitation of Kindle. To have a simple thing like a raised cap in Kindle you have to juggle

That's fascinating. In recent years I've noticed that books from mainstream publishers tend to use raised caps in lieu of drop-caps. I've noticed it because I don't particularly like it! For myself, I've switched to a few words in small caps, bolded.
