Ideally, \DropCap would notice a piece of leading punctuation and drop it as well. Instead, it seems to look at the punctuation and give up.
Example:
\def\Drop {\DroppedCaps
{} {Serif} {4\baselineskip} {2pt} {2\baselineskip} {3}}
\starttext
{\Drop A} \input knuth
\page
{\Drop “A} \input knuth
\page
\stoptext
Advice?
Thanks again,

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····························································
[1] http://modules.contextgarden.net/t-lettrine
Regards, Philipp
