Missing ŏ in smallcaps #552

Open aronvandepol opened 3 months ago

aronvandepol commented 3 months ago

Describe the bug The letter "ŏ" does not appear in small caps as expected across various applications, including LaTeX and font analysis tools like FontDrop. Instead of transforming to match the small caps styling, the "ŏ" character remains in its standard, non-small-caps form. This inconsistency disrupts the uniformity of text that is intended to be displayed entirely in small caps.

Steps to reproduce

Use a font that includes the character "ŏ" in a text editor or a LaTeX document. Format a section of text to display in small caps, including the "ŏ" character within this section. Additionally, you can confirm this by uploading the font to FontDrop to inspect the character's rendering in small caps.

Expected: The "ŏ" character, when included in a section of text formatted to display in small caps, should transform and display as small caps, maintaining consistency with the rest of the text. Actual: The "ŏ" character remains in its standard form, not matching the small caps styling of the surrounding text. This behavior occurs across different platforms and applications, including but not limited to LaTeX and FontDrop.

Additional context The issue was initially observed while working with LaTeX documents but was confirmed to be a broader problem using FontDrop, suggesting that the issue lies with the font's handling of the "ŏ" character in small caps. This problem may affect any text where uniform small caps formatting is crucial, impacting the visual consistency of the document.

It seems this issue also goes for ŭ and ĕ. It seems to revert back to the standard lowercase set.
