}

According to the W3 spec, the :first-letter pseudo-element only work for a block element, which a is not.

Oddly, *:first-letter caused the first letter to transform, at Chrome 14 and Firefox 3.6.23. Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/8W7FF/3/

If JavaScript is an option it might be worth looking at: http://letteringjs.com (which should be fairly cross-browser compatible)
