Hi,I am trying to use the Initials package with initials set over three lines. I have placed „\setcounter{DefaultLines}{3}“ in the preamble. In the PDF output, I see that the initial “E” is indeed vertically spaced across three lines. However, the letter “E” is only scaled across two lines. In fact, the “E” is the same size as if DefaultLines was set to 2. Please see my attached test file. Also, the “loversize=.5” option, if added to the Initials, appears to be ignored (which I’ve tried to use to compensate). Since this is my first attempt at using this package, I assume that this is my fault and not a bug. Could you enlighten me please? This is with LyX 2.2.3.Thank you, Frank
Does the attached do what you want? Here's a list of the changes I made: 1. I switched the language from German to English (US) to get rid of an error message I was getting related to the babel package. You should not need to do that, and it should be unrelated to the drop-caps. 2. I commented out two lines you had in the preamble (unnecessary, at least for the drop-cap). 3. I loaded the fix-cm package (critical to getting a big enough initial capital). 4. Putting the cursor just inside the "Initial" inset, I selected Insert > Options and added the option "lines=3". Paul
