I'm currently using lettrine package and when I set a lower size bigger than zero it seems doesn't work.

This is my tex source:

\documentclass[a4paper,oneside,italian,a4]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{luainputenc}
\setlength{\parindent}{0bp}
\usepackage{type1cm}
\usepackage{lettrine}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Chapter 1}
\lettrine[lines=4,loversize=0.9]{L}{orem} ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut ullamcorper, magna sed commodo suscipit, massa eros ultrices nisl, quis iaculis metus tortor quis est. In eu pulvinar erat. Nullam scelerisque scelerisque mi eget lobortis. In malesuada gravida magna, non ultrices orci luctus ac. Aenean ornare tempus ligula. Sed pharetra tempus leo quis aliquam. Aliquam luctus sollicitudin mi, quis auctor quam accumsan quis. Sed at nisl quis est commodo auctor. Suspendisse eget odio vitae justo gravida bibendum et eget turpis. Suspendisse porttitor commodo blandit. Vivamus quis mi turpis. Vivamus iaculis tincidunt dignissim. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos.
\end{document}

These are the warnings:

LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `T1/cmr/m/n' in size <78.02933> not available
(Font)              size <35.83> substituted on input line 12.


LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `T1/cmr/m/n' in size <94.90416> not available
(Font)              size <35.83> substituted on input line 12.

LaTeX Font Warning: Size substitutions with differences
(Font)              up to 59.07416pt have occurred.

And this is the output PDF in which the L is not scaled correctly: enter image description here

Use some nice font that can be scaled -- for example kpfonts or lmodern:

\documentclass[a4paper,oneside,italian]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{luainputenc}
\setlength{\parindent}{0bp}
\usepackage{kpfonts}
\usepackage{lettrine}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Chapter 1}
\lettrine[lines=4,loversize=0.9]{L}{orem} ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut ullamcorper, magna sed commodo suscipit, massa eros ultrices nisl, quis iaculis metus tortor quis est.
