Bug ID: 162984
Summary: LibreOffice uses fake small caps even when font
supports true small caps
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
LibreOffice's small cap formatting uses fake small caps even when true small
caps are available in the selected font. This is generally considered bad
typesetting as the strokes of the fake small caps are too thin compared to the
other letters.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a font supporting true small caps (e.g. Libertinus Serif, Source
Serif Pro)
2. Create true small caps by changing the font name to "[Font name]:smcp" (this
selects the small caps OpenType feature)
3. Compare to small caps create by LibreOffice by selecting small caps text
formatting (Format > Text > Small Caps)
Actual Results:
Fake small caps are created by scaling down the capitals.
Expected Results:
True small caps from the font should be used.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
There is a workaround by changing the font name to "[font name]:smcp".
