Hi,
I read the manual, and it said:
rm, ss,tt,hw,cg are styles, bf,it,bi,sl,bs, sc, os, tf are alternatives. one can use one alternative in one style like \rm\bf. However, I think we should add more alternatives like boldsmallcaps or bold old style number?
no, in such cases, just create another typeface with relevant fonts using smallcaps and then switch to that typeface
in opentype, smcp, onum are just features, and every alternatives (like bold, bold italic) have them.
btw, I think there should be a (fontconfig like) mechanism for setting up opentype fonts easier?
hm, it's nbot that complex, just define a featureset and use it; one can even adapt features in between if needed (dynamic features) you can be pretty sure that whatever you 'predefine' (font-blabla-using-oldstyle-and-smallcaps) will have exceptions and then we end up with n! possible combinations Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
