Dear all,

is there a simple way to convince context to put small caps in italic?

Thanks.
Andreas

%%%% minimal example %%%% 
\starttext

% this is what I intended to do
\emph{\smallcaps Something} Something % not italic

% this is what if tried:
{\it\sc Something} % not italic

{\italic\smallcaps Something} % not italic

{\slanted\smallcaps Something} % not italic

{\smallcaps\italic Something} % no small caps

\stoptext
%%%% minimal example %%%%

Latin Modern uses a separate file for the small capitals but when you use a font which has them in font you can enable them when for all styles when available.

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

\starttext
{\tf\setff{smallcaps}SmallCaps\par}
{\it\setff{smallcaps}SmallCaps\par}
{\bf\setff{smallcaps}SmallCaps\par}
{\bi\setff{smallcaps}SmallCaps\par}
\stoptext

\setff{X} enables font feature X in the current scope --- do I
understand this correctly?

It enables a predefined set of features which need to define with \definefontfeature.

There is also a difference between \setff and \addff, with \setff you replace the active
feature set (in most cases “default”) with a new set, you can see it in the first line
because kerning etc. is disabled after \setff which I haven’t included in my list.

In the second line I used \adff which add my new list to the active list and because
of this kerning is still active after \addff.

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

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

\starttext

{VA abc \setff{smallcapitals} VA abc}

{VA abc \addff{smallcapitals} VA abc}

{12345 \setff{oldstylenumber} 12345}

\stoptext

Wolfgang
