orakon Posted January 19 Posted January 19 I'm using small caps for a comic, meaning capital letters are a larger capital and normal letters are a smaller capital. The issue is that with my chosen font the weight of the larger capitals are thicker, and I have to manually change the weight of capital letters and punctuation to fit the look of the smaller letters. Is there a way in the style menu to automatically change the weight of capital letters and punctuation? Thank you! Quote
Old Bruce Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Welcome to the forums @orakon, Short answer: No. Long and unwanted answer is that you are stuck with the forms the letters have. There are probably hundreds of Small Cap fonts, some will be better than others for giving you what you want.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
MikeTO Posted January 19 Posted January 19 A true small cap font will always look better than a regular font converted to small caps by an app like Affinity. Just google "best small caps fonts for comics" to find suggestions.

thomaso Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Dirty workaround: Create a character style with the wanted look for large Capitals, e.g. slimmed down with a stroke applied (hm, only works on monochrome text backgrounds). Use "Find and Replace" to search for large Capitals and assign this character style as its 'replace' action. Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1
