bold small caps with latin modern

bold small caps with latin modern

[Peter Münster]

Hello

Is it possible to get bold small caps with latin modern and MKIV, and if
yes, how?
I would like to get working this example file:

\starttext
\sc Normal and \bf bold Small Caps.
\stoptext

Thanks in advance for any help, Peter

you should apply a font feature to bold font.

What a pity...

With MKII and texlive, I could do this:

\definebodyfont[15pt,14pt,13pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt]
    [sc] [bf=cmbcsc10 sa 1, tf=cmcsc10 sa 1]
\pdfpkresolution=1200
\starttext
\sc Normal and \bf bold Small Caps.
\stoptext

But there seems to be no possibility to use bitmap fonts in the minimals.

Once, I've heard about workarounds, for example getting bold by double
printing with some displacement. Would this be possible?

Cheers, Peter

Almost-on-purpose decision. (You can still add some binaries to
minimals yourself.)

Not by displacement, but you can use \starteffect[outer] in both mkii
and mkiv or some embolden option in XeTeX.
