Hello list,

I have a problem with font scaling (see "sc=SansCaps sa 1.5" below).

 

I'm using MyriadPro as sans font, but it lacks small caps.

So I decided to provide them using AlegreyaSansSC, because it's similar to MyriadPro and it's made of small caps only.

When I use \ss and \sc I get AlegreyaSC instead of MyriadPro.

I want to scale them differently to balance their weights.

That's why I wrote "sc=SansCaps sa 0.95".

 

In body text the two fonts are balanced, but in the footnotes the scaling is ignored.

What am I missing?

 

Here's (part of) the typescript:

 

\starttypescript [sans] [meo]

\definefontsynonym [Sans] [name:MyriadPro-Regular][features=meo,fallbacks=mancanti]

\definefontsynonym [SansBold] [name:MyriadPro-Bold][features=meo,fallbacks=mancanti]

\definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [name:MyriadPro-It][features=meo,fallbacks=mancanti]

% ...

\definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [name:AlegreyaSansSC-Medium][features=meo,smcp,fallbacks=mancanti]

\definebodyfont

[13pt,11pt,10pt,8pt,7pt,6pt]

[ss]

[tf=Sans sa 0.85,

it=SansItalic sa 0.85,

bf=SansBold sa 0.85,

bi=SansBoldItalic sa 0.85,

sl=SansSlanted sa 0.85,

sc=SansCaps sa 0.95]

\stoptypescript

 

Thank you,

Massi
