This effectively changes the weight of the font so that it becomes lighter, but that effect is (for scaling factors near the default value) not too large, even though it is quite visible. Optimal distance between two letters generally grows slower than the dimensions of the letters themself. Conversely, to linearly shrink a line of text usually places the letters a bit too close. To counteract that, the \textbf{Small glyph} commands used below insert a bit of extra space (\IEint{smallcapsextraspace}) before and after the actual glyph. Besides the letters, there is also manufactured a special set of diacritical marks (skrunk by the same factor as the letters), with names such as \texttt{Acutesmall}. These are meant to be used as accent characters in a font where the fake small capitals are used as small letters, so that clashes within a single character when \TeX's \verb|\accent| primitive is used can be less pronounced. \textsf{Fontinst} users should however be aware that this is not necessarily the right thing to do; some fonts might look better with the \texttt{acute} etc.\@ glyphs as \texttt{Acutesmall} and friends. \metrics \needsfontinstversion{1.910} \usemtxpackage{lubuild} \ProvidesMtxPackage{lsfake} \begincomment \section{Some commands and default values} \endcomment % A c&sc glyph is created by shrinking the cap glyph, and adding extra % space. \setcommand\cscglyph#1{ \movert{\int{smallcapsextraspace}} \glyph{#1}{\int{smallcapsscale}} \movert{\int{smallcapsextraspace}} } \begincomment A \textbf{Small glyph} is mainly the special case of a \textbf{Glyph} when the glyph is scaled $\TypesetIntegerExpression{\int{smallcapsscale}}$.

In this file, spacing of smallcaps is consistently done using the \IEint{smallcapsextraspace} parameter, but \texttt{latin.mtx} only uses this mechanism in monowidth fonts. For proportional fonts, the default was instead to use the \IEint{letterspacing} parameter to space the entire font---the same amount for non-faked as for faked letters. \section{Changes} 1999/10/25: Added \verb|\setglyphs| for \texttt{Macronsmall} and \texttt{macronsmall}. (LH) 1999/10/25: Simplified definition of \verb|\unfakable|. (UV\&LH) Rationale: It is thoroughly confusing if the size of the black box created by \verb|\unfakable| depends on the metrics of an unencoded glyph that isn't accessible and therefore unavailable for all pratical purposes. 2000/10/20: File split off from \texttt{latin.mtx}. 2003/01/02--05: File heavily reorganised. (LH) 2005/04/15: Removed section on \emph{Miscellaneous glyphs}, since that should be handled by \texttt{lsmisc.mtx}, and moreover prevented the code there from working correctly. (LH) Thanks to Michael Zedler for drawing my attention to this error. \end{document} % Copyright 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 Alan Jeffrey, % hacked and maintained 1997, 1998 Sebastian Rahtz, % copyright 1998, 1999 the fontinst maintenance team and any individual % authors listed elsewhere in this file.
