![]() If you have the time and patience to add a half- or full-point to the letter spacing and tinker with character weight, you might be able to produce decent type. The converted characters can look out of place since they lack the slightly heavier weight and increased letter spaces of real small cap styles. This approach might be easier for users, but its results are often unacceptable. While some of those apps recognize small cap fonts, most of them create fake small caps by converting lowercase letters to uppercase letters and reducing their size by a few points. Some applications, including leading word processors and page layout programs, allow you to define a type style or convert mixed-cased text strings to small caps automatically. When this occurs, the font sometimes includes a petite caps style whose height equals its x-height, with a substantially taller small caps style. However, when fonts have low x-heights, their small caps tend to run somewhat taller on a percentage basis.
