@dbaron, I think #719 is about how an Raised/Sunken initial letter affects the size of the first line box. However, in this issue, it's more about which position we'd like to place/sink an initial letter. According to [Sizing Initial Letters](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-inline/#sizing-initial-letters), the size of a drop initial is determined by the need to satisfy the required alignment. But, in the same section, it specifies that "The contents of the lines spanned, and therefore any variation in their heights and positions, is not accounted for." Which would lead to this issue. If we size an initial letter without referencing spanned line-height, and a line is indeed spanned, then which position we should align the initial letter to? With N as the initial-letter's sink argument, we could - align the initial letter to the Nth line's baseline (take spanned line-height into consideration) - align the initial letter to the position that DO NOT take spanned line-height into consideration, as can be seen in the example listed in comment 0. - something else. -- GitHub Notification of comment by chenpighead Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/735#issuecomment-268186642 using your GitHub account
