Small caps from otf in luatex.

Small caps from otf in luatex.

[john Culleton]

I have asked everywhere else to no avail. In (plain) luatex how do I
specify the small cap version of an otf font? I use context for
non-fiction but pdftex and now luatex for fiction.

Plain uses a feature syntax similar to Xetex’s:

  \font \foo = "file:Iwona-Regular.otf:+smcp"
  \foo
  whatever
  \bye

the expression after the second colon is the same as “smcp=yes”
in Context. Multiple definitions are separated by semicola, e.g.:

  \font \foo = "file:Iwona-Regular.otf:+smcp;mode=base;+tlig"

Best regards,
Philipp

Thanks! Now my latest book project can move forward. I never
thought to look in xetex for an answer about luatex.
