使用 lettrine 调整引号的大小和对齐方式

Question

的文档lettrine描述了\ante=在首字母缩略之前使用引号。这会产生与普通文本大小相同的引号：

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{lettrine}
\begin{document}
\lettrine[ante=‘]{C}{uriouser} and curiouser!’\ cried Alice (she was
so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak
good English); ‘now I’m opening out like the largest telescope that
ever was! Good-bye, feet!’\ (for when she looked down at her feet,
they seemed to be almost out of sight, they were getting so far off).
\end{document}

然而，在凸起和下降的首字母艾伦·哈利 (Allan Haley) 写道：“使用引号时，开头的引号的大小应介于初始大小和文本副本的点大小之间，但其对齐方式应保持在字母的光学顶部。” 而遵循这个建议并不容易。

在与初始 () 相同的参数中包含引号\lettrine{‘C}{uriouser}可以实现完美对齐，但引号太大：

使用\ante=大小改变命令 ( \lettrine[ante=\LARGE ‘]{C}{uriouser}) 会生成大小合理但未对齐的引号：

在与初始参数相同的参数中包含引号，但使用大小改变命令 ( \lettrine{{\LARGE ‘}C}{uriouser})，也会产生大小合理但未对齐的引号，尽管现在它太低而不是太高：

手动调整（\lettrine{\raisebox{.46ex}{\LARGE ‘}C}{uriouser}）给出的结果似乎可以接受：

这是反复试验的结果，如果我决定让开头占据三到四行，那么很多步骤就需要重复。我的问题是否存在更优雅的方法 1）找到介于首字母和文本引号大小之间的引号大小，以及 2）正确对齐它。

我进行编译luatex，以防万一出现可能的解决方案。

Answer 1

\loq在这里，我通过缩放用于 lettrine 的字体并将开头的引号提高到必要的量来定义（lettrine 开头的引号）。

\RequirePackage{fix-cm}
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{lettrine}

\newcommand\loq{%
  \sbox0{T}%
  \sbox2{%
    \dimen0=\csname f@size\endcsname pt
    \dimen0=0.5\dimen0 % adjust the factor to suit
    \fontsize{\dimen0}{0}\selectfont`%
  }%
  \raisebox{\dimexpr\ht0-\ht2}{\usebox{2}}%
}

\begin{document}

\lettrine{\loq C}{uriouser} and curiouser!’\ cried Alice (she was
so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak
good English); ‘now I’m opening out like the largest telescope that
ever was! Good-bye, feet!’\ (for when she looked down at her feet,
they seemed to be almost out of sight, they were getting so far off).

\end{document}

我添加了fix-cm可任意缩放的字体；使用 LuaLaTeX 您将不需要它。

按照芭芭拉·比顿 (Barbara Beeton) 的建议，这里介绍如何将开场引语移动到左边距。

\RequirePackage{fix-cm}
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{lettrine}

\newcommand\loq{%
  \sbox0{T}%
  \sbox2{%
    \dimen0=\csname f@size\endcsname pt
    \dimen0=0.5\dimen0 % adjust the factor to suit
    \fontsize{\dimen0}{0}\selectfont`%
  }%
  \llap{\raisebox{\dimexpr\ht0-\ht2}{\usebox{2}}}%
}

\begin{document}

\lettrine{\loq C}{uriouser} and curiouser!’\ cried Alice (she was
so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak
good English); ‘now I’m opening out like the largest telescope that
ever was! Good-bye, feet!’\ (for when she looked down at her feet,
they seemed to be almost out of sight, they were getting so far off).

\end{document}
