Sorry. The phrasing was presumptuous on my part. I haven't used the feature for years inasmuch as I've been using earlier releases dating to before major improvements were made. I said it because I vaguely remembered comments about this thing or that still not working.
From an earlier post to me:

I'm one of the people who reported or confirmed that particular bug. However, my comment in the original post you're replying to here concerned a slightly different version of the issue that only occurred *for me* when using the "Show Font" button from within the Drop Caps paragraph option. I was able to reproduce it this morning, but since then it's been working the way it works everywhere else. It could be because in the meantime I had printed the document using an older version of PageStream. As it turned out, that solved another Drop Cap issue that I was going to report. The resaved file now works as expected in the new beta as well.
In short, I can't reproduce the variation. This doesn't surprise me. I expected that the root cause would be identical and that, therefore, fixing the problem we've all been seeing with "Show Fonts" will fix this special case as well to the extent that it crops up at all.
Come to think of it, I can't _easily_ reproduce the missing hyphen thing either because I made extensive changes to the document itself and there's no place left where there would be a convenient discretionary hyphen.
All in all, this release looks more and more like it's going to be a keeper.
