define a font family for roman caps [rc] beside the roman [rm] font family. A change to small caps is done with \switchstyleonly[rc], so if you're in SerifBold, you end up in SerifCapsBold.
Good idea. I don't really understand the family mechanism. Can I define all "styles" like rm, ss... or is ist limited (other than the lack of free two- letter-combinations)?
I have suggested [rc] (roman caps) and [cs] (caps sans) to complement rm and ss. I see no reason why it couldn't go further. Things like [hw] might need some foundational/fallback definitions, though. Need to look further.
It ends up being memory-hungry, and probably a bit slower than other options, but it kinda works.
I like high level solutions, so I need always lots of memory... ;-)
Yeah. Me too.
Funny coincidence, I was looking around apostrophic labs and other free fonts as well, this weekend. Then I found fontsanon.com. :)
And what do you think? Better? (I'll have a look later.) I spent some hours writing (that is, ordering and editing) typescripts for Meade's Street family. Don't know if I'll use it...
Hey, that's pretty nifty. I installed loads of fonts, but have nothing in the way of typescripts. I also liked Florencesans and your insight of putting reverse-italics (yuck) in the slanted slot. And this is *after* I spent the weekend compulsively texfonting every default Mac font I could find on my machine. Did anyone get Scriptina to install? The pltotf step in texfont still hangs.
