So I dove in, trying my hand at what’s become the first of not one but two small caps variants. This first one, of course, is geared for titles and headlines. Certain capitals have been tweaked (Q, S, U), the numerals now match the small cap height, and all pertinent symbols have followed suit. Look close for the ornamental &, ¶, and †.
Even more akin to Trajan (_gulp_) but replete with a panoply of ligatures, I only threw the towel in after appending an anachronistic set of swash capitals.
More. Latin. Trajedy. :^)

Lex: Glad you are still appreciating this – I still couldn’t have done it without you.
p2pnut, aphoria: I don’t know what took longer...coming up with which ligatures I wanted to include, creating them (and ensuring that actual words can be made with them :P ), or trying to organize it all in some semblance of order within the Latin Extended B Unicode range!
afrojet: My hat’s also still super off to you, my friend. Lex started this all. But – I must reiterate – it was really you who convinced me to add small caps (x-height small caps coming soon...). I hope you do enjoy and get some milage out of the result.
I’m still trying to figure out the best way to actually utilize it for my own devices. Photoshop still lacks a glyphs palette, Flash is giving me bizarre chopped serifs for certain letters in aliased mode (and also lacks an easy way to access the swashes and ligatures), and using the obviously more fully featured InDesign is just a strange way to work with bitmap fonts. Yet, setting the display performance to “fast display”, zooming to 100%, and creating text blocks of 32 pt text in InDesign seems to be the best approach for now. Not particularly versatile :-(
Huh. Maybe I need to split at least the swash caps into a distinct fontstruction.
Well, even if I can’t get full Flash pixel-font functionality out of this (outside of working it in FL) I have an intriguing ulterior motive for all this pixeling. My intention is to ultimately pique Mr. Meek’s interest and bring him into the discussion, because I think I have hit upon an idea for FontStruct’s evolution that has yet to be publicly addressed. I think it could be big!
Stay tuned, I promise to let the cat out of the bag with the next release ;^)
Superb work on the small caps.
