{\setff{smallcaps} SmallCaps {\bf BoldCaps}}

Hello,

Thanks! What's the difference between \sc and \setff{smallcaps}?

By default \sc switch to a different font like \it or \bf but now with opentype fonts smallcaps are a part of many fonts which can be enabled with the smcp feature.

Could something like "\def\sc{\setff{smallcaps}}" in the preamble harm in any way?

I would change this to \definefontfeature[smcp][mode=node,smcp=yes] \unexpanded\def\sc{\addfs{smcp}}

Depending on your answers, I would perhaps request to trigger \setff{smallcaps} by \sc in the core.

Can be a problem because we have font (e.g. Latin Modern) where smallcaps are still in a separate file. Wolfgang

Can be a problem because we have font (e.g. Latin Modern) where smallcaps are still in a separate file. So the user has to know in which fashion the small caps were created, as font feature or in a seperate file. That's not very convenient. When the user switches to another font it may break the document, since he has to change the \setff{smallcaps} to \sc.

Maybe it is possible that the \sc macro can check if the font contains the small caps as a feature. Is there a switch like \doiffontfeatureexists{smcp}{...}? I have the following logic in mind:

1) Check if small caps are a font feature, if not 2) check if small caps are in a seperate font, if not 3) fake them.

\startluacode function commands.doifelsecurrentfonthasfeature(name) local f = fonts.identifiers[font.current()] f = f and f.shared f = f and f.otfdata f = f and f.luatex f = f and f.features commands.doifelse(f and (f.gpos[name] or f.gsub[name])) end \stopluacode \def\doifelsecurrentfonthasfeature#1% {\ctxlua{commands.doifelsecurrentfonthasfeature("#1")}} \let\normalsc\sc \definefontfeature[smcp][smcp=yes] \definefontfeature[latn][script=latn] \unexpanded\def\sc{\doifelsecurrentfonthasfeature{smcp}{\addfs{smcp}}\normalsc} \starttext \tf text \sc text \switchtobodyfont[cambria]\addfs{latn} % cambria needs the latin script for smallcaps \tf text \addfs{smcp} text \switchtobodyfont[modern] \tf text \sc text \stoptext Wolfgang

Nice! Hans, what about integration into the core?

when it works out ok, I'm sure that wolfgang and I will look into it Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
