Yes, and it's what variants were intended to address, to "stack" font switching behaviour on top of known shapes and weights. Old Style sometimes exists in more than regular shapes. Small Caps appear in bold and sometimes even italics versions. (Variants were also to get at fonts that wouldn't normally have a style associated with them, as well.) adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
