The font properties dialog does offer font small caps features as a group of radio buttons (even showing the OpenType feature name in the small help text) while the style manager shows them as a drop-down menu (really bad UI choice ...). But what's even more confusing: the style manager has _two_ places that deal with small caps: there is a 'SmallCaps' button on the 'Properties' tab and there is a drop down on the 'Font Features' tab. No, I would naively assume that the first would control whether text with that style is typeset in small caps while the later (the menu) would control _how_ those tabs are typeset. But, alas, that's not the case. The button results in all text set in small caps, but using the (ugly) downscaling of caps, while the menu acts on the whole text as well, but optionally using the OpenType features smcp or c2sc. I think this is configusing and probably not what's intended (hence my cc to the developer list). What's missing is a way to configure that Scribus uses a font feature (smcp) whenever text in that style is typeset as small caps.
