German sharp s problem #37

Closed NDPtype closed 2 years ago

NDPtype commented 2 years ago

The font doesn't have a small cap sharp s when I turn on the smcp feature: castoro eszett

It would be more correct if the sharp s is substituted with a "double s" when smcp is activated: castoro eszett 2

Can you please fix this?

The double–S remains the standard German orthographic rule for case mapping of ß. If you want the smallcap glyph that corresponds to the uppercase ẞ character that was only recently officially recognised as an alternative case mapping, then you need to use that uppercase character (U+1E9E) and apply the c2sc rather than smcp feature.
