--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
Confirmed. However not clear this is really an issue needing to be corrected.

When font supported SmallCaps (Graphite/OTF :smcp) is provided by font, using
that feature is now supported across the modules (as for bug 98367 wef 24.2.0
release). Simply use the font feature (via 'Character...' dialog button) if
true SmallCaps are available.

Otherwise, alternative of applying SVX generated SmallCaps character effect
currently overrides application of the Graphite/OpenType font feature when
applied--and only testing if character is a capital or not and transliterating
and scaling.

IINM correcting to preferentially use :smcp support would require the "effect"
test each span's font for a valid font feature--either using the SVX
transliteration or honoring the :smcp table. 

Makes it much more complex. Yes it could provide better typesetting, but not
clear what is the best for ODF.

@Caolán, Khaled, Tomaž --any thoughts on need for tweaking svxfont for this?
