I'm using OO 2.2 from Ubuntu Feisty official package.
I really wanted to tweak the size of the Small Capitals Font Effect. I find the
difference in size between the large and the small letters to be a little bit
too much. I would like to change it to something like only 7-10% size
difference. Where can I do this?
You can't make this change. There was a lot of discussion on this forum
about a year ago and about all you can do is shrink capital letters down
to the size you want and use those instead.
There used to be an issue about this on the OOo website, but I can't
find it now. I recall a number of OOo staff people claimed not to see
the problems, not understanding that small capitals smaller than lower
case characters is wrong.
What should be done, ideally, is that small caps should be sized to be
about 5% more than the distance between base-line and x-height in a
font, and on top of that the user should be allowed to adjust.
Still, a quick fix would be to make small capitals larger now but merely
changing the magic number hidden somewhere in the code.
But it isn't done.
Which means that the small caps feature in Open Office is currently
useless in OpenOffice.org if you want to use good typography with most
fonts.
