No drop caps in v2?


Recommended Posts

I would like to use drop caps in a text. I can’t find the option in the paragraph or in the character panel, nor in the style editor. An internet search turned up a description of how to apply drop caps in the V1 manual, but there is no mention of drop caps in the V2 manual.

Has this feature been removed in V2, or am I just not looking in the right places?

(For now, I’ll just create a separate text box for my drop cap, the workaround is simple enough, but I still wonder about this functionality)

 

Edit for clarity

It's also available under Paragraph > Drop Caps (I'm pretty sure it was the same in v1.)

It may also be worth mentioning that Drop Caps are a Publisher feature, only, in both V1 and V2. @Ampersand did not mention which Affinity application they're using.
