Your font has no Small Caps variant? Do you need Small Caps switching depending on the \it, \bf, \bi, \tt, \ss, ... ? Here is the recipe for generating and installing Pseudo Small Caps (small letters are scaled down versions of capitals - typographicaly not clear solution but if the font has no real Small Caps...). The example is done on Latin Modern family but can be applied to another Type1 font. (Note: pdftex doesn't handle this sort of transformation on TTF fonts.)
1. Pseudo Small Caps generation. All commands (txt)
texfont --fontroot=X:\ --en=ec --ve=public --co=lm --source=auto --ca=0.8 lmbx10
2. Typescript definitions. Complete type script (copy URL to browser?!)
- a) Metric file correspondencies:
\starttypescript [all] [latin-modern,computer-modern] [texnansi,ec,qx,pl0,il2,t5] ... \definefontsynonym [cmtcsc10] [\typescriptthree-lmtcsc10] [encoding=\typescriptthree] ... \definefontsynonym [cmcscbx10] [\typescriptthree-lmbx10-capitalized-800] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \stoptypescript
- b) Making \Var[SmallCaps] in Serif, Sans, and Mono:
\starttypescript [serif] [computer-modern,latin-modern] [default] ... \definefontsynonym [SerifRegular] [ComputerModern] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [ComputerModern-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [ComputerModern-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [ComputerModern-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifRegularCaps] [ComputerModern-Caps] \definefontsynonym [SerifSmallCaps] [ComputerModern-Caps] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalicSmallCaps] [cmcsci10] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSmallCaps] [cmcscbx10] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalicSmallCaps] [cmcscbxi10] \definefontsynonym [SerifRegular] [Serif] \definefontsynonym [SerifRegularSmallCaps] [SerifSmallCaps] \definefontvariant [Serif] [SmallCaps] [SmallCaps] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [computer-modern,latin-modern] [default] ... \stoptypescript \starttypescript [mono] [computer-modern,latin-modern] [default] ... \stoptypescript
3. Usage. PDF Source (copy URL to browser?!)
\usetypescriptfile[type-lm-var] \usetypescript[all][computer-modern,latin-modern][ec] \usetypescript[serif][computer-modern,latin-modern][default] \usetypescript[sans][computer-modern,latin-modern][default] \usetypescript[mono][computer-modern,latin-modern][default] \usetypescript[modern][ec] \setupbodyfont[10pt,rm] \def\sc{\Var[SmallCaps]} \starttext { Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\it Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\bf Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\bi Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\ss { Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\it Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\bf Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par } {\tt % Note: pseudo caps breaks monospacing! { Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par {\it Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par } \stoptext
