\def\MyDroppedCaps%
{\DroppedCaps
{} {uplr8t}
{2\baselineskip} {3pt} {\baselineskip} {2}}
\useencoding[win]
\mainlanguage[de]
\starttext
\MyDroppedCaps Z{\sc wei} Konstanten regieren die Proportionen eines gut
gemachten Buches\kern.2em: Hand und Auge.
Das gesunde Auge ist immer um zwei Spannen von der Buchseite entfernt,
und alle Menschen fassen Bücher
auf die gleiche Weise an.
