I didn't check yet, but it's probably a global problem in mkiv
smallcaps support.

in type-otf.tex at least this is missing:

\starttypescript [sans] [adventor] % and possibly others
    \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Regular]
     [file:texgyre\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-regular]
[features=default]
    \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Italic]
     [file:texgyre\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-italic]
[features=default]
    \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Bold]
     [file:texgyre\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-bold]
[features=default]
    \definefontsynonym
[\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-BoldItalic]
[file:texgyre\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-bolditalic]
[features=default]
    \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Caps]
     [file:texgyre\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-regular]
[features=oldstyle]
    \definefontsynonym
[\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-ItalicCaps]
[file:texgyre\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-italic]
[features=oldstyle]
    \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-BoldCaps]
     [file:texgyre\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-bold]
[features=oldstyle]
    \definefontsynonym
[\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-BoldItalicCaps]
[file:texgyre\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-bolditalic]
[features=oldstyle]
    \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Slanted]
     [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Italic]
[features=default]
    \definefontsynonym
[\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-BoldSlanted]
[\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-BoldItalic]
[features=default]
\stoptypescript

The same is true for mono.

Try
   \definetypeface [mygyre] [tt] [mono]  [cursor]

Also, in type-otf.tex one needs to fix
\starttypescript [sans] [cursor] [name]
into
\starttypescript [sans] [mono] [name]


Thanks a lot for pointing out all the problems.

(I'm just afraid that you'll find so many problem in the Cyrillic part
of Gyre ...)
