This new thread follows a former thread about ligatures. This time it is about small-caps (but it could concern also other Open-type features of course).
I suppressed the former post.

Each of them goes through reasons/locations where you might want to include each setting.
This is also another good article showing visual examples of each setting + the CSS to enable each one:
And Mozilla's page on font-feature-settings is more developer-focused (but still fantastic). On the left-hand side, you can see select between different CSS properties you can use (like font-variant-ligatures, font-kerning, [...]). |
Implementing small-caps
I have been using a fork of my font of choice which is Linux Libertine (see joint attachment). I had previously tried to write small-caps, using the CSS property
font-variant: small-caps without realizing that I had first to unlock its possibilities (smcp)...
Thus, I had obtained only mixed results (no accented letter) and I had given up.
Even with your links, there are different advices on how to implement this (top level, low level,...)
I join here the regular font I am using.
It
seems to work using this code (taken from "Typotheque" above). It needs now testing. It does something with Sigil but nothing the Calibre editor and later with Prince PDF...
Code:
font-variant-caps: small-caps; /* high-level property */
-moz-font-feature-settings: 'smcp'; /* low-level (old Firefox) */
-webkit-font-feature-settings: 'smcp'; /* low-level (old Webkit) */
font-feature-settings: 'smcp' on; /* low-level (all new browsers) */
On LibreOffice 6.2, I learned also that I just need to define a style (paragraph or character the same) with this font name:
Code:
LinLibertineG30:smcp=1
and small-caps are displayed fine too.
