I am setting some late Greek text which uses characters of a Coptic origin
and am having a problem when the Coptic letters are to be set as drop
characters. It works if they do not have diacritical marks but fails when
the diacriticals must be entered as non-combining. The appended code shows
the problem and, incidentally, why non-combining marks are needed. (I
would attach the .pdf file if I knew the list’s protocol for attachments.)
The question is: Is there a way to get \placeinitial to take the first two
characters of the opening word? In the example below, I need case 4 to work
so that it looks like case 2.
