[XeTeX] Some thoughts regarding fonts

[Chanop Silpa-Anan]

Will,

I will check out your work as soon as I get my powerbook back from a
(free, due to faint white spots) screen replacement.

Regardings small caps and italic small caps, have you had a look at
Philipp Lehman's The font installation guide?

http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide.pdf

There is one solution to handle italic and small caps so that we can do
things like this.

This is roman; {\itshape however, this is italic; {\scshape
nevertheless, this is italic small caps.}}



Chers,
Chanop
