Maybe you need to educate us non-typographers by what you mean by small
caps then ... or explain what you're trying to achieve, what appearance
you want, etc.
Those who prefer good typography know that in the days of real
typesetting with hot lead the publisher had a separate drawer with the
small cap characters. These were crafted to have the same stroke width
as the lowercase letters so they would appear natural in a line of
type.
Anyone who knows what they're talking about, wouldn't confuse hot lead
or hot type, such as Linotype or Monotype, with hand set type where
you'd have drawers full of the various letters.
BTW, I have hand set type and seen Linotype in use.
