Hello everyone,

I have been trying the lettrine module and have come across some unexpected 
behaviour. I have been following the documentation found here

 
http://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/t-lettrine/doc/context/third/lettrine/lettrine-doc.pdf

and have proceeded to make a minimal example:

 \usemodule[lettrine]

 \starttext
 \lettrine[Lines=3]{T}{his is a test} \input knuth
 \stoptext

Unfortunately the output is not quite what (I think) it should be. It appears 
that the first line is rendered as expected, but that it is followed by a 
vertical gap---an extraordinary line spacing if you will---that places the 
second line all the way beneath the 'T', where the forth line would be 
expected. However, the second and third line are indented the way you would 
expect, they are just two lines further down as they should.

As this may be hard to express, I have attached a small PDF with the result of 
the above code.

If you don't need the fancier features of letterine module, you may just use \placeinitial.
