Well I've seen it working, in a "test drive" of QuarkXPress. However, that software doesn't implement GPOS tables for positioning accents, which renders my approach useless for most European languages. I think InDesign should support everything though.

I couldn't find a single free-software program that gives access to small caps though. I wrote to several project who should, and expressed my view...

A user wrote to me complaining the fonts had no proper small caps versions. At first I thought a whole small caps face was required to support small caps, and that this would be inappropriate for a Unicode font (since in most writing systems, there is no such style as small caps).

Then I read about the 'smcp' feature.

So: I have drawn small caps letters for Latin in FreeSerif roman, and inserted them with a 'smcp' lookup table.

I don't know if it really works. See

Anybody know of an open-source program that uses these?
