Hello,
I'm new to ConTeXt and this list. After a long time of using LaTeX and
xeLaTeX I was finally lured into trying ConTexT by its ability of grid
typesetting.
Today's problem is a bit complex. In a book project I have several
points where stuff is capitalized or turned into caps+smallcaps or
pure smallcaps. My guess is that that should work either with
\WORD{Stuff}, \Cap{Stuff} and \cap{Stuff} or with \uppercase, \sc, and
{\sc\lowercase{Stuff}}. (Not quite, it seems)
I'll use a commercial font called Calluna, but have added Linux
Biolinum O to the example for those who don't want to download Calluna
(the "Regular" can be "bought" for free, e.g. at
https://www.fontspring.com/fonts/exljbris/calluna).
Both Calluna and Biolinum contain the glyph "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER
SHARP S" at "1E9E. Calluna also has a small caps version at "F727",
while Biolinum has it at "E092. I'd like to use these glyphs in the
capitalizations mentioned, but that only works erratically (cf. example).
Secondly, Calluna comes with oldstyle numerals switched on, which is
nice for normal text, but should change to proportional lining numbers
in uppercase and to small-cap proportional lining numbers in an
all-small-cap text. I'm not sure what I'd want in a caps+smallcaps
context, but certainly not oldstyle numerals with their descenders.
Use separate threads for each problem. The uppercase sharp s replacement
with \WORD can be changed in the next beta.
%% begin example
\usemodule[lingual-de]
\setupbodyfont[libertine]
\starttext
Gruß Straße Buße
\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}
\enabledirectives[fonts.uppercasesharps]
\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}
\disabledirectives[fonts.uppercasesharps]
\WORD{Gruß Straße Buße}
\stoptext
%% end example
