Drébon,
in the world of typography it is a well known fact that Helvetica and
clones lack small-caps, and many vehemently argue that this is right and
proper, because "it is in a typeface family that shouldn't have
small-caps". However, that means the trick is actually really simple:
don't try to find a Helvetica clone with smallcaps, but simply find a
different font that has a small-caps set that fits the visual style your
publication uses, and then use that font instead of your main font when
you need to run text in small-caps.
When one font doesn't offer what you need, use more fonts! (for
instance, the combination of Palatino Linotype main text with FreeSerif
punctuation looks far better than pure Palatino Linotype. Heresy! But it
does anyway =)
