Only the original concept. I'm far enough from that low-level hackery (at this point) that all I can do is endorse yours and Hans's solution as advancing the cause of font variants. Speaking of, there's some good variant support in Gerben's now near-final release of the Mac fonts, in particular, the Hoefler Text typescripts give you independent access to Small Caps variants of all bold/italics in the family (as well as independent old-style/lining figures). You can pick it up in Gerben's i-Installer *EXPERIMENTAL* directory. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
