Add smallcaps -- possible with VF? #6

Closed jpt closed 7 years ago

Not sure how to define arbitrary axes in Glyphs but would be cool if the smallcaps could be part of the GX file (or whatever ends up winning on the web)

I suggest posting about that in type drawers because I had just heard this suggestion from @twardoch and would be great to hear a fresh voice of a real type designer

Started a thread if you haven't seen it -- http://typedrawers.com/discussion/2081/small-caps-as-a-variable-font-axis-in-glyphs -- sounds impossible in the way I intended, but seems like there's interest for something like "smart components for VF"

Smallcaps are in but not using any VF stuff. Closing until there's support.
