Sorry for the delay - I thought Dave was going to respond to this. As currently specified, I don’t believe anything happens to drop caps if a glyph with synthetic superscript is introduced. http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-inline/#sizing-initial-letters “The contents of the lines spanned, and therefore any variation in their heights and positions, is not accounted for.” As I recall the discussion that led to this section, it was thought that consistent drop cap sizing across paragraphs was more important than getting the cap height alignment to match. So the height of the drop cap does only depend on line-height and actual font metrics. Thanks, Alan
