All Kobos are quite happy to render font-variant:small-caps; as long as your book is a kepub (i.e. everything Kobo sells). The small-caps will be 'simulated' from the font currently in use rather than a true small-caps font.

If the OP wanted to read the book as an ePub on his Kobo, then your technique of forcing lowercase on the entire phrase before applying small-caps still wouldn't work...according to you, they would "have to change the case back to uppercase in order to have it work with simulated smallcaps."

Your statements seem to argue against your own previous statements...you keep saying that small-caps ONLY works on lowercase...now you are saying they would all need to be uppercase???


Anyway...I am also officially DUN with this particular argument. Cheers!

What I am saying is that if the text is uppercase, it needs to be lowercase in order to be made smallcaps. So if the eBook originally used a font size to make the smallcaps from uppercase, then you need the text transform to make the text lower case so it can be smallcaps. If the text is a combination of upper and lowercase and that's how you want it for the smallcaps, then you don't need the text transform. It's that simple.
