But I know .7em is too small for the proper size of small caps. I'm not saying mine is correct, but it's pretty close if not. But if anyone has a better value, please post it.

Ok. I was just curious where it came from.
I did play with all sizes between .9 - .5 and found .7 was just right for me. I tried .9 and .8 and found them too big and the smallcaps look somewhat diminished.
I tried to size the smallcaps the same size as the lowercase letters, and .7 came the closest without going into 2 or 3 decimal places as shown in the image.

where you assign your preference scale to <small>. Note that only "small" letters are scaled, not capital letters, spaces, or punctuation.
But my advice would be:
1. If small-caps are just a style choice, think of something else, maybe bold, italic or underline would be valid for whatever emphasis or highlight is intended.
2. If it's important that it's actually small-caps, use an embedded true small-caps font. |
That is interesting. I did not consider using the <small> method. But seems a bit of extra work.
I used my particular method of .7 and text transform, so if there was a fix for the smallcaps issue in Kobo, I could quickly change the css code.
