------- Additional comments from stevanwh...@openoffice.org Tue Sep 21 19:58:41 +0000 2010 ------- Regarding implementation: Be advised that many OpenType fonts posess a 'smcp' substitution table that refers to a specially designed set of glyphs for small caps. These glyphs are designed to be of the form of the capital letters, but of the size and weight of the small letters. If such a table exists in a font, those glyphs should be used first to make small caps. There is also a similar table 'c2sc' for converting capitals to small caps. Failing that, small caps should be generated as versions of the capital glyphs, scaled to the height of the small letters (the x height). For this operation, somehow the correspondence between small and capital letters in the script has to be prescribed as well. I think that small caps only makes sense in Latin-based scripts. In Cyrillic particularly, it would be a poor idea, due to the similarity of most of the capital letters to the small ones. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
