Proper small caps support
Proper small caps support
Is there any possibility of getting true small caps support instead of a work around of converting any lower case letters to upper case and then using the font size tag on only those converted characters?

Re: Proper small caps support
Greetings mathetes,
Could you explain the usage so we can understand better. Since it is not built directly into the viewer we are using, I believe the way it done is pretty good. However, is there a case scenario where this does not work?

Re: Proper small caps support
When creating a module, I automatically search for any words using a particular character style in my document and then tag those words before converting the file to a text file. It would be nicer if I didn't need to go to the extra work of determining which characters in a small caps word are in lower case letters and then only tag them and convert to uppercase. It's unfortunate that the viewer can't handle that directly.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding.
Are we talking about the size of uppercase characters?
Or something that automatically converts characters to uppercase?

Re: Proper small caps support
I've contacted our viewer developer about \scaps which doesn't seem to work.
\caps does.
\caps does.

Re: Proper small caps support
I would be talking about the \scaps tag. Instead of \scaps, a tag defining a -1 size font needs to be used after converting the lower case characters to upper case. And of course defining a -1 font size can't be used on any uppercase characters that are supposed to be upper case that happen have a small caps style, because they would then also be downsized.

Re: Proper small caps support
The viewer's developer got back to us: "This tag [\scaps] does not work because TRichView does not support small-caps feature yet (and it is not planned for near future, sorry)"
So the best work around is {\caps words} or \caps words\caps0 then adjust \fs# [edit]

Re: Proper small caps support
Mathetes, please can you give some example cases of the use of small caps. We can pass this info to the control developer if requested.
