Hello again,
I just discovered another weird problem with small caps when using some fonts, e.g. Adobe Jenson Pro or Adobe Garamond Pro.
When old-style figures are enabled, the code below generates "GEOff" instead of "GEOFF". Another ligature bug, it seems -- which is strange because I don't see why old-style figures should affect ligatures at all (not that I know anything about these things), and also because the second line should disable ligatures in small caps altogether.
\definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][liga=no]
Did it work with this redefinition of the smallcaps feature?
\definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][mode=node]
With \setfontfeature{oldstyle}, I don't seem to get any small caps at
all in node mode. If I replace it with the line that you suggest below, small caps seem to work well regardless of mode. So, problem solved for me. Thanks!
does \addfontfeaturetoset{oldstyle} work?
That seems to behave the same as \setfontfeature{oldstyle}, i.e. it generates "GEOff". And again, I don't get small caps in node mode. So far, the only way to get small caps and old-style figures working properly together has been to use \setmainfont[Adobe Jenson Pro][oldstylefigures=yes], as suggested by Wolfgang.
Here's my current test file, with all the different variations commented out:
\usemodule[simplefonts] %\setfontfeature{oldstyle} %\addfontfeaturetoset{oldstyle} \definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][liga=no] %\definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][mode=node] %\setmainfont[Adobe Jenson Pro] \setmainfont[Adobe Jenson Pro][oldstylefigures=yes]
\starttext {\sc Geoff} % GEOff or GEOFF?
1954 % do old-style figures work? \stoptext
I have to reply to my own mail because I just updated simplefonts and noticed that the latest version behaves a bit differently. The [oldstylefigures=yes] option still works perfectly, but now both \setfontfeature{oldstyle} and \addfontfeaturetoset{oldstyle} result in small caps not working at all. Mika
