Thank you for your excellent work. Can you update the plug-in which will support Unicode characters? Currently it just look for capital A-Z, it will be nice if it work with other language also like bangla. Hope to get support from you.

I would like to change the drop cap font to Verdana.

Where do the styling settings you use in the article go? Which file do I edit?

Hi David,

Thanks for the comment and the link. I vaguely remember reading that. I wouldn’t worry about that last line of CSS, after all it depends which letter your drop cap is.

Thomas – Dropcaps plugin is absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much. One interesting tidbit. Link below has great visual/grid for dropcaps.

The one thing is I cannot figure out is how to implement the last CSS bit which is supposed to reduce the indentation of the first line.

.firstLetter + span{
margin-left : -0.5em;}

I like this a lot, works well in Firefox. But ran it through IE6 and IE7,in squashed the first line, so had to disable it for now.I am not a php programer, so I am not exactly sure wht to do your instructions seem vague to me.

Very nice plugin. By the way, it actually works well with IE7. Don’t know about previous versions. It does look better in Firefox, but at least the drop-cap displays properly in IE.
