Pseudo Small Caps

Pseudo Small Caps

[Vit Zyka]

Hi,

on the http://contextgarden.net/Pseudo_Small_Caps there is a recipe for:
- generating Pseudo Small Caps by texutil, and
- preparing typescript for variant \Var[SmallCaps] font switch.

Example for Latin Modern: http://typokvitek.com/tex/pseudocaps/smallcaps.pdf

After that it is possible to write:
   \def\sc{\Var[SmallCaps]}

   {    Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par
   {\it Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par
   {\bf Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par
   {\bi Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par

   {\tt
   {    Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par
   {\it Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par
   }

   {\ss
   {    Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par
   {\it Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par
   {\bf Ahoj \sc Ahoj}\par
   }

Vit,

Nice application of variants. 
However, it has to be pointed out that the fake smallcaps with \tt will
be "dangerous" for some applications: the .8 scaling loses the
monospacing in the \tt font.

Clever remark Adam. Thank you I did not realize that. Small note is add 
to the Garden. Alternative: It might be applied to the non-monospaced 
typewriter variant.
