David,
By mapping a font-variant or text-transform to a specific font, I meant that
Say that there is CSS such as this:
h2 {font-family:Copperplate, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-variant:small-caps;}
If Copperplate is available, I would want the CSS to be font-variant:normal,
while if it's not available, it would be font-variant:small-caps. This scenario
could take place in an iOS context, where the iPad has Copprplate installed,
but earlier iPhones do not.
Using @fontface embedding of Copperplate might be contraindicated due to
copyright restrictions.
