Can you add a ticket about this so the issue isn't lost?

xmlroff was not doing the right mapping to Pango font variant, but it
appears that Pango hasn't implemented small caps anyway [1].

I also haven't seen that it's even possible to select small caps using
fontconfig, nor can I find anything about font variants in the Cairo API
docs [2].

I will check-in the xmlroff changes once I confirm they are correct, but
small caps won't work until the underlying libraries support it.

Regards,


Tony.
