Hopefully, MS will include true small caps in the next versions of Word. Providing copies to all would violate copyright laws. While Small Caps changes the entire selected text to smaller variations of capital letters other than the first character of a word, All Caps is similar to the UPPERCASE option within the Change Case drop-down gallery. I guess the problem, though, is that there would be no way to restrictĪccess to those owning a licensed copy of the font in question, and Figure 7, below shows samples of the text applied with Small Caps and All Caps options. It is too bad that there is no repository of fonts modified as you suggest. Sylistic variant N is helpful, but unfortunately, I don't have or know how
Your suggestion as to how to modify fonts by putting small caps in as While users of InDesign, Quark, and MS Publisher would be sophisticatedĮnough to deal with the problem, large numbers of Word users might not be. He posited that the Office team's thinking might have been that
Have a small cap for a particular glyph, e.g., many non-English accented Substituting small caps could lead to anomalous results if the font does not Thomas Phinney posted a likely explanation somewhere to the effect that OpenType as you say Word 2011 (Mac) does. Thanks for the info and suggestion, Charles.
Include Brioso Pro with CS5 and you'll make a sale to me. Is there any way of accessing Arno's small caps in Word? I'd like to use it as my regular choice for business correspondence, but I'd also like to be able to use the true small fonts. One work-around for Adobe Caslon might be to find an old Adobe Caslon TT or Type 1 small caps font, but it appears that Adobe never released any TT or Type 1 fonts for Arno.Īrno is one of my favorite fonts. With Adobe Caslon and Arno, however, the small caps are not encoded into the Private Use Area of the fonts and seem not to be accessible at all in Word. While not ideal, that is doable since small caps are commonly used for acronyms, but not for large sections of text. With many of my Adobe fonts-those that came with my purchases of Design Suite CS3 and CS4-one can select the small cap glyphs, one by one, from Word's Symbol panel (the equivalent of InDesign's Glyph panel). It does not, however, seem to have an easy way of selecting true small caps. It allows one to select between old style figures and lining figures, automatic substituion of ligatures, choice of style sets, etc., when using OpenType fonts.
