Some greek lowercase do not change to small cap versions with smcp feature #145

Closed erniemarch closed 6 years ago

alpha, beta, gamma, phi, and chi do not change to their small cap version like other greek lowercase when the smcp feature is applied. They are instead flagged as glyphs in the IPA range. Please check.

@erniemarch This is as expected. If the language tagging is set to a Latin-based language (eg English), the characters listed are swapped to the Latin forms. To get proper handling for Greek, you will need to set your text tagging to Greek. Please test with proper tagging and report if you still find this to be an issue.

@pauldhunt seems to me that there's either a feature-sorting issue, or the smcp feature is missing substitutions for the latinized lowercase Greek glyphs.

Paul and I discussed this in depth and ultimately concluded that, given the current support for small caps in the font — which does not cover characters from the IPA blocks — it is working as designed. Support for small caps of IPA characters is expected to be added in the future.
