Trying to get this drop-caps to look good in as many browsers as possible.
So far, it works ok in IE5.0, NS6 & Opera5 under Win98SE and IE5.5 and NS6
under NT.  However, under NS4.6 & WebTV on Win98SE and NS4.7 on NT, it
doesn't look right.  Any ideas on how to fix this for at least NS4.x?  Also,
can someone try this on  Mac & Unix and let me know how it looks?

 SPAN.dropcap {
  font-size: 42px;
  font-weight: bold;
  float: left;
  font-family: "book antiqua","times roman", times, serif;
  color: 669999;
  line-height: 32px;
 }

<p><span class="dropcap">C</span>authen Funeral Home was founded in 1940 by
H. Roger Cauthen and his wife, Ruby Lloyd Sistare Cauthen.  Mr. Cauthen was
a 1932 graduate of the Gupton-Jones College of Mortuary Science in
Nashville, Tennessee.  Mrs. Cauthen had attended Winthrop College, in Rock
Hill, SC, and was one of the first women to become a Licensed Funeral
Director.</p>

Thanks,
