Is possible do anyway i have own hand drawn dropcap(s)? like this but

with custom image (i can change it font and colour at least earlier but if i want draw own for example as bitmap not possible my skills). idea make text frame what covers other letters area not work starts fine first line this custom shaped text frame but when test need go new line drops bellow on this area where "hole" for letter is. other custom shaped tex tframes work also oddly sameway custom shape means anything else than rectangle. use image show what drop caps mean before anyone ask.

I’m afraid your question is not clear. As requested in other threads, please post in your native language.

@MxHeppa  Do you perhaps mean Text Wrapping?  You write “draw own for example as bitmap.”  If so, you can certainly accomplish the same effect as a drop cap.  Just put your text into a frame, then File>Place your saved bitmap onto the text frame.  Then Wrapping to the Image (not the text) and set your wrapping distance.

Edit:  Here is an example.  Save your bitmap image as a PNG file with a transparent background if you want the wrapped text to be irregular like my sample.  Save your bitmap image as a JPG if you want an even wrap like your example.

You do realize that Rliquam and hat are perfect examples of cromulent words.

 

Aside: How the hell did cromulent get into my spell check? Not sure if I want to speak to the manager or if I am pleased.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

There’s no point in trying to fight it, @Old Bruce. It’s much too well established to disappear now.

Select the image with Move Tool –> choose menu Edit > Cut –> Place the text cursor in your text frame at the wanted text position –> choose menu Edit > Paste.

Alternatively you can use the Pinning Panel: place the image at the wanted position above the text frame –> In the Pinning Panel click one of the two available pinning options, e.g. "Inline":

Do you mean "warping" or "wrapping"?

Your screenshot doesn't tell much without the Layers Panel at least + "Show Special Characters" activated. – Is this image pinned?

I don't see anything odd in them, too. But they demonstrate that the image is nested as pinned object. Now the Pinning Panel may interest you. See my recent posts with examples of pinning settings in both of your threads about 'image used as drop cap'.

Do you indeed believe that your English skills outperform the AI-trained translation tools used worldwide and are less error-prone?
