Re: small caps

[tisimst]

Kevin,

"\caps" and "\smallCaps" should work with any font since they simply iterate through the string and reduce the font size by a scaling factor -2 for all characters except those already in upper-case.

The only function, related to this conversation thread, that cares about the actual font is "\fontCaps", in which it actually sets a font property 'font-shape to 'caps. If the offending font has no such property, it reverts to the default normal, non-bold, non-italic font.

Dear Craig,

Can you provide an example that compiles on its own? A simplified version of your code is working for me. Also, what font are you using?

Hi Shane,

\version "2.19.11"

Even with \smallCaps (how did I miss that!?!!?) the test stays the same. Bold and Large are both working but not the small caps.

Which version are you using? and is it not \smallcaps that you need to
issue? Also does the font actually have small caps natively?
