This paragraph has a pretty plain initial or drop cap. It uses the default document font. You didn't really expect more detail with such a generic font choice, right? This may be exactly what you want, especially with modern typesetting styles which tend towards the minimalist.

“Never say never,” the saying goes. Someday your dropcap may include leading punctuation. The quotation mark joins the initial automatically, but a hanging indent to pull it into the margin is not supported yet.

Another paragraph shows off a different line count. Note that Glu does not yet support a stand-off feature that would indent subsequent lines more than the first one.
