Hi Daniel,

have you tried Taco’s Lettrine module?[1] It should do the job
and allows special handling of quotation marks as well:

···8<····························································

\usemodule[lettrine]
\starttext

\lettrine{“A}{} \input knuth

\blank[line]

\lettrine[Ante={“}]{A}{} \input knuth

\stoptext \endinput

···>8····························································
