'Small capitals from capitals' in OpenType font

Post by alexdennis »

I'm trying to set up a style sheet where one header style is displayed as all small capitals (i.e., both upper and lower case characters appear as small cap lower case characters). This works fine using the OpenType 'small capitals from capitals' and 'small capitals' tick boxes in the typography panel, but doesn't seem to 'stick'. On saving and reopening the file I sometimes get small caps on only the 'uppercase' letters and sometimes only on the 'lowercase' ones, but not both together. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong? The font is Adobe Garamond Premier Pro.

Thanks and best wishes

Hi Alex, I just tried what you said, and it looks like a bug to me. Using Garamond Premier Pro's letter case options, only one of "small capitals" and "small capitals from capitals" seems to persist when reopening a file. This seems to affect both style definitions and manually applied formatting. I'll make sure we take a look at fixing this, thanks!

Hi Alex- just wanted to say that this issue has been fixed in the recently released Nisus Writer Pro 2.0.3.
