you should apply a font feature to bold font.
This is nonsense, the smallcaps for latin modern are a separate font like they had been in computer modern, trying to access them with font feature is useless.
Besides this smallcaps are only available for the upright and the italic style but not for the bold.
What a pity... With MKII and texlive, I could do this: \definebodyfont[15pt,14pt,13pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt] [sc] [bf=cmbcsc10 sa 1, tf=cmcsc10 sa 1] \pdfpkresolution=1200 \starttext \sc Normal and \bf bold Small Caps. \stoptext But there seems to be no possibility to use bitmap fonts in the minimals. Once, I've heard about workarounds, for example getting bold by double printing with some displacement. Would this be possible? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Almost-on-purpose decision. (You can still add some binaries to minimals yourself.)

Not by displacement, but you can use \starteffect[outer] in both mkii and mkiv or some embolden option in XeTeX. Mojca
