I am working on some humor collections that include some parody "screenplays". In the printed books, these use lots of small-caps.

Often I have embedded small-caps fonts, to use for very short phrases, such as titles, signatures, etc. I have used semi-serif, such as Fontin or Marcellus, which *sort-of-kind-of-but-not-really* will go with the user's choice of serif or sans-serif body font.

However, these books have entire sentences and paragraphs in small-caps. The embedded font does not look happy in such large swathes. I do not want to use fake small-caps with multiple spans for large and small font sizes (those multiple spans break search, and display fails on some readers).

As you can see by the screen-shots of the p-books, small-caps are used for character names, and for "movie captions." Italics are already in extensive use for "stage directions" and other descriptions.

So, should I replace the small-caps with ALL-caps? With BOLD?
Or just ignore all that, and simply use normal text?

In situations like this, I should probably ask myself, "What would Hitch do?" The answer floats back on the echoes, "Hitch wouldn't let herself get involved with such a diabolical choice..."
