Drop Cap hace que el texto se salga en ciertas líneas de texto

Question

Me gustaría que el texto permaneciera alineado, pero parece que el superíndice junto con la letra mayúscula se han eliminado. No sé qué necesito para arreglar eso. Además, me gustaría que el párrafo se ajuste alrededor de la letra capitular donde comienza la primera línea en la parte superior. ¿Alguien me puede ayudar? ¡Gracias!

Answer 1

Nunca usaría Times para ese tipo de texto; pero newtxtextdefinitivamente es una mejor opción que el timespaquete obsoleto.

Hice algunos cambios: con una columna tan estrecha, la fuente debería ser más pequeña, lo que se logra escalando al 90%, con la correspondiente reducción del salto de línea base.

Modifiqué la definición de \versenum: insertastepositivokerns en lugar de negativos. Finalmente, microtypehace maravillas.

Para permitir la separación de palabras de la palabra después de un número de versículo, uso \nobreak\hspace{0pt}.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[scale=0.9]{newtxtext}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{lettrine} % For creating drop caps
\usepackage{yfonts}   % For Goudy Initialen font
\usepackage{xcolor} % Provides \textcolor

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{

    paperheight=6.8in,
    headheight=0pt, % Remove header
    headsep=0pt,    % Remove space for header
    footskip=0pt,   % Remove footer
    marginparwidth=0pt, % Remove marginal notes
    marginparsep=0pt,   % Remove separation for marginal notes
    textwidth=50mm,
    textheight=130mm,
    top=71.86614pt,
    inner=35mm, 
}
\pagestyle{empty}

\definecolor{maroon}{RGB}{128,0,0}

\renewcommand{\LettrineFontHook}{\initfamily\color{maroon}}
\newcommand{\versenum}[1]{%
  \textsuperscript{\textbf{\textcolor{maroon}{#1}}}%
  \nobreak\hspace{0pt}\ignorespaces
}
\newcommand{\dropcap}[1]{%
  \lettrine[
    lines=4,
    findent=0pt,
    nindent=0pt,
    loversize=-0.99
  ]{#1}{}%
}

\linespread{0.9}

\begin{document}

\dropcap{B}lessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
\versenum{2}

Answer 2

Puede permitir más flexibilidad en el espacio en blanco para que el texto justifique

Pero como puede ver, los números de los versos rompen el espaciado de la línea base, por lo que también oculté la altura del superíndice.
