Text Formatting ⇒ Incorrect text alignment with yinipar

[MadameBibitte]

Hi, I am trying to use \yinipar to insert a Gothic-style drop cap at the beginning of each chapter. When I do something like this...

Code: Select all

\yinipar{T}his is some sample text.  This is some sample text.  This is some sample text.  This is some sample text...

...the drop cap is forced to the bottom of the page, like this:



How can I make it align properly with the rest of the text?

I can't reproduce this. Can you post a minimal working example?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{yfonts}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\yinipar{T}his is some sample text. \blindtext
\end{document}:

Hi again,

After some more research, I managed to solve my own problem. Replacing the \yinipar command by \textinit gives the same style of drop cap with the correct alignment.

Thanks anyway!

Please test the above minimal example. What do you get on your system?
