mkiv: Charis SIL / SmallCaps

[Zenlima]

Hi,

I wonder how to make that the font Chris SIL
(http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=CharisSIL_download)
displays its Smallcaps. I checked the font with fontforge and it really
contains the Smallcaps and also the smcp table.

But for whatever reason I cannot get context to show the smallcaps. I
tried an example out of this mailing list: 

\definefontfeature[smallcapitals] [smcp=yes]
\definefontfeature[oldstylenumber][onum=yes]

%\setupbodyfont[pagella]
\setupbodyfont [charissil]

\starttext

{VA abc \setff{smallcapitals} VA abc}
{VA abc \addff{smallcapitals} VA abc}
{12345 \setff{oldstylenumber} 12345}
{VA {\kap VAabc}}
{VA {\cap VAabc}}
{VA {\CAP VAabc}}
{VA {\sc VAabc}}

\stoptext

In the above example I only get smallcaps with the \kap and \cap - but
then also the big letters are transformed into smallcaps :-(.

With pagella is works fine - but not with charissil. What have I to do
in order the get the smallcaps to work with context? 

Thanks,
H.

\definefontfeature[smallcapitals] [default] [smcp=yes, script=latn]

or otherwise also set up kerns

btw, there is a smallcaps feature predefined.

Hi,

thanks! Now it works with the \setff{..} command.

> or otherwise also set up kerns

Sorry, I dont understand what you mean with this. Can you explain it?

> btw, there is a smallcaps feature predefined.

I thought the \sc is the predefined command for the smallcaps font
feature. Am I wrong?

When you use

  \definefontfeature[smallcapitals][..,..=..,..]

you have to add “kern=yes” to the list because no kerning happens otherwise.

No, like the \it. \bf etc commands \sc is a font switch which uses for Latin Modern
a separate font file which contains instead of lowercase letter small capitals, for other
fonts the \sc command load the upright font where the “smallcaps” feature set is
used instead of the “default” set.
