Willi Egger 8. Oktober 2015 um 11:40 Hi all,

sorry for bothering you with this.

I have a font Seravek-Regular.otf and Seravek-Bold.otf. It is actually my company font.

Now I needed to use bold-smallcaps. But I can not get it working, though otfinfo tells, that in the bold font there are smallcaps

In my typescript file I have the following two lines, from which the Regular variant works perfectly well.

\definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [Seravek-Regular] [features=smallcaps] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldCaps] [Seravek-Bold] [features=smallcaps]

I tried to get bold smallcaps with \bf\sc but without success.

SansBoldCaps does not have a ‘short form’, afaik.

...

...

Can anyone point me what to do? \bf\setsmallcaps

(or \let\sc\setsmallcaps, somewhere in the setup section, which is what I usually do).

Note that this method does not need nor use the SansCaps and SansBoldCaps synonyms in the typescript, and that it only works for well-behaved opentype fonts. Oh, and it may give you italic smallcaps, something the old ’SansCaps’ based method never did.

Best wishes, Taco
