Public bug reported:
OK, I mostly have tested this with the TexGyre fonts since they have TeX
versions. I've verified that the fonts have SmallCaps information in
them (actually an OTF font, not TT, but this happens with TT, too). I
can use the smallcaps from LibreOffice, Scribus, and the LuaTeX backend
(except for 1 font that I've been tweaking that LuaTeX can't find and
everything else can or I'd use LuaTeX).
1 - When LyX's "Document Settings->Fonts->Use Non-TeX Fonts" is
unchecked, I can set the given TeX fonts and SmallCaps is rendered
correctly.
2 - I check the same box and select the same fonts (Yes, I know it will
now read the OTF and not the TEX files, but as I said, the information
is present), and the SmallCaps goes away. FontForge shows the
information for smallcaps.
3 - Checked with other fonts as well, and the only thing that works with
the box checked when running XeTeX is setting the font to "Default" and
I'm not sure which font its using. LuaTeX will support SmallCaps on
most of my fonts, including the same ones XeTeX fails on.
I'm guessing the bug is in Xetex but I really have no clue. Like I
said, the fonts work everywhere else.
