The height of the dropped initial is set to the cap-height or x-height of the first line by specifying ' -ah-initial-letters-first-line-head-height'. However, some fonts do not have the cap-height and x-height information, so the dropped initial characters and the height of the first line will not match. In such a case, it can be adjusted by specifying in the Font Configuration File of Antenna House Formatter. For example, the setting in the font construction file is as follows:
<font-folder path="C:\*****">
<font-entry file="frank.ttf" cap-height="0.46"/>
</font-folder>

吾輩は猫である。名前はまだ無い。どこで生れたかとんと見当がつかぬ。何でも薄暗いじめじめした所でニャーニャー泣いていた事だけは記憶している。吾輩はここで始めて人間というものを見た。しかもあとで聞くとそれは書生という人間中で一番獰悪な種族であったそうだ。この書生というのは時々我々を捕えて煮て食うという話である。しかしその当時は何という考もなかったから別段恐しいとも思わなかった。
