Small caps in PDF output

[chymical]

Hi,

Has anyone else had a problem trying to get Small caps in PDF output?

In my attribute set, I have this line as one of the attributes:

<xsl:attribute name="font-variant">small-caps</xsl:attribute>

The .fo file has output on all the correct blocks, like:

<fo:block font-size="10" font-variant="small-caps" space-after="0.6em">Some text</fo:block>

The PDF file never has any small cap text. Can anyone think of a reason why this is not working?

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

Apache FOP does not seem to have any support for font-variant:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compl ... nt-variant

From what I've tested neither does XEP.

I solved this problem in FOP adopting a dedicated small cap font variant, say Times New Roman Small Cap and declaring a configuration xml file for FOP to embed the font in PDF output.
