SirPL Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Hi Affinity team! Do you have fake small-caps feature in your backlog? By the feature I mean support for small-caps in font that doesn't have small-caps.

SirPL Posted September 10, 2018 Author Posted September 10, 2018 3 hours ago, Dave Harris said: otherwise it falls back to scaling normal caps Well... It seems not working in case of my font which doesn't support OpenType Small Caps. It's non-free font so I can't share it here but I if any Serif employee wants to check it on his/her own - please contact me. Edit: I found that my font is the only for which Publisher is unable to create fake small-caps. But still -- InDesign create them correctly... @Dave Harris, @JFisher or @Chris B - I would be glad if you could check if that's issue with font or with Publisher. Please PM me.

SirPL Posted September 12, 2018 Author Posted September 12, 2018 I think it's a bug so I created separate thread. This one can be closed. 2 minutes ago, SirPL said: Hi, I found that small-caps fallback (creating small-caps for fonts that doesn't have this OpenType feature) doesn't work for certain fonts. InDesign has no problem with creating small-caps for them. URW++ Aster is an example of problematic typeface. Upon request I can share otf files with Serif team in order to find a root cause of the problem.
