I would like to have a dropcap which is an image and use it's actual size (rather small) instead of specifying a number of lines (as lettrine does). I came up with a somewhat working solution using \placefigure but this fails to work inside a columnset environment (the image is centered above the text). Simple MWE follows.
\definecolumnset[TwoColumns][n=2]
\starttext
\startcolumnset [TwoColumns]
\placefigure[left, force, none]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}
First paragraph.
\input tufte
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
Any idea on what I did wrong ? As well, it is guaranteed that the image will be before the text ?
