Using the a:hover selector with the :first-letter selector

    I have a need to enlarge the first letter of my anchor link when it is in its roll-over( hover) state. So when you mouse over a HOME link, the 'H' would get a larger font-size and the 'ome' would remain the same.
    I have an ul with anchor links in the li items.

    Is this possible using css only.

    Any help from all of you smarter than me would be appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Scott

    I will give it a go,
