I'm trying to use smallcaps with a font called SquarishSansCT.

According to mtxrun it has smcp as a feature...

$ mtxrun --script font --list --info --pattern=squar
[...]
mtx-fonts       | gsub features:
mtx-fonts       |
mtx-fonts       |   feature  script   languages
mtx-fonts       |
mtx-fonts       |   c2sc     grek     dflt    
mtx-fonts       |            latn     dflt    
mtx-fonts       |   smcp     grek     dflt    
mtx-fonts       |            latn     dflt    
mtx-fonts       |

...but I can't seem to get that feature to work in this MWE which works for TexGyreSchola.

\definefontfeature [smallcaps] [always] [smcp=yes]
\definefontsynonym [Squar] [name:SquarishSansCT-Regular] [features=smallcaps]
\definefontsynonym [Schola] [name:texgyreschola-regular] [features=smallcaps]

\definefont [chapterTitle] [Squar at 18pt]
\definefont [anotherTitle] [Schola at 18pt]

\starttext
{\chapterTitle A Chapter Title}
\par
{\anotherTitle A Chapter Title}
\stoptext

Have I missed something or is it the font?

Found it from an old email of Wolfgang's in the archive - not sure why I didn't see it before.

Solution is to use:

\definefontfeature[latin-smallcaps][smallcaps][script=latn]
\definefontsynonym [Squar] [name:SquarishSansCT-Regular] [features=latin-smallcaps]

instead of the first two lines in my example below.
