Yep.

And for the ultimate discussion on all things smallcaps, see many of the posts I linked to here:

• 2022: "How do I get rid of Table of Contents?" (Post #112)
• 2021: ""Creation" of fonts ex nihilo (or how Calibre displays Bold having only Regular)"
  
  • I also cover a ton of other typographical details, like italics vs. slanted vs. obliques.
• 2019: "Replacing a single letter"
  
  • Describe many of the problems with S<small>MALL</small> C<small>APS</small> (and similar hacks).

I say set "font-variant: small-caps" and forget it!

If the device doesn't support it, too bad! Complain to the device/app makers to fix their crap!

In addition Kobo's font handling changed a lot in fw 4.32.19501 (April 2022). Since then the rules have changed:

Thanks for all that latest info.

Any reason why Kobo still hasn't included a monospace font? Hasn't this bug/complaint been known about for years and years?
