Daniel Flipo submitted an update to the
lettrine
package.
Version number: 2.60 2024-01-20
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Typeset dropped capitals
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The `\lettrine` command is now compatible with right to left typesetting, both
with `LuaLaTeX` and `XeLaTeX` (`babel` or `polyglossia`).
A basic example `lettrine-demo-arabic.tex` has been added to the `doc`
directory.
Currently with XeLaTeX, file `lettrine-xetex-bidi.def` (v0.8 [2022/11/06]) is
automatically loaded by the `bidi` package; it redefines the `\@lettrine`command
based on version 2.30 of `lettrine`. This code breaks versions 2.50 and newer
of the `lettrine` package, you can now safely remove `lettrine-xetex-bidi.def`
if you install `lettrine` v2.60.
