CTAN update – lettrine

----- Forwarded message from Daniel Flipo -----
I have just uploaded into ftp.dante.de/incoming a file lettrine.tar.gz,
which contains an upgrade (V 1.2) of the lettrine package designed to
typeset various sorts of dropped capitals.
It should replace the old version in 'macros/latex/contrib/supported/lettrine'.
The license is unchanged (LPPL).
This new version corrects a bug due to incorrect handling
of rubber lengths; the bug occured with seminar.cls for instance.

Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested in
CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/lettrine'

lettrine – Typeset dropped capitals
The lettrine package supports various dropped capitals styles, typically those described in the French typographic books. In particular, it has facilities for the paragraph text’s left edge to follow the outline of capitals that have a regular shape (such as “A” and “V”).
