Reply To: Possible to script automatic faking of small caps when font doesn't have them?

Thanks for that link. The percentage trick would be a good way of adjusting once I've got the right ratio of font sizes dialed in, but my initial thought is that it won't work for setting the faked small caps because it would make the strokes of the lower case small caps characters thinner than the initial capital letter in the word, and that's precisely the problem with applying small caps to fonts that don't have them built in.

I'm also hoping to find a way to do this via a script or something greppy (though this is CS3) that recognizes whether the first letter of a word (or any letter in a word, I suppose) is capitalized and applies the style to the rest of the letters but not the capital, and knows to apply the style to all the letters in any word that has no capital.

The reason I asked this in this forum is that I would love it if it could happen without me having to select any text at all in order to manually apply anything. I'd like to find a way to have it happen automatically when I click (or apply via a style) small caps for a font that does not have its own small caps.
