So the answer is that this isn't formatting. Those small caps are actually special Unicode characters.

Wikipedia:
Quote:
Although small caps are not usually "semantically important", the Unicode standard does define a number of "small capital" characters in the IPA extensions, Phonetic Extensions and Latin Extended-D ranges (0250–02AF, 1D00–1D7F, A720–A7FF). These characters, with official names such as latin letter small capital a, are meant for use in phonetic representations. For example, U+0280 ʀ (HTML ʀ) represents a semi-voiced uvular trill.

As of Unicode 5.1, the only characters missing from the ISO basic Latin alphabet are small-capital versions of Q and X.
In short, someone's done small caps the wrong way. You'll have to search and replace the actual characters.
