Caps and Small Caps

[gwpriester]

There are specific fonts that include small caps. These are the fonts you want to be using.

Increasing the font size is not the answer. Small Caps fonts maintain the same character weight for the caps and small caps. Increasing the font size distorts the weight and is unprofessional. See this page http://www.fonts.com/content/learnin...omy/small-caps

The attached is from fonts.com and shows true small caps on the left and computer generated small caps on the right. In my opinion, small caps created by increasing the font size is right up there with using the ' character instead of a proper apostrophe.
