Small Caps

Morpheus10

Hey
I have finished drawing lowercase and uppercase letters and i want to draw small caps.
i am facing the following problems. I have googled for it but it seems everyone just knows where to draw their small caps.( they are mostly discussing about weight and size but not where to draw them in font lab , i mean)
What are the Unicode ranges for them and how to access those glyph cells

PS I am a noob and please be considerate while answering these

Cheers

thanks for the link. i understood now that there are no unicode values for small caps but how to create them.I mean which glyph cells should i use. should i create a new font file and name it as small caps?

Cheers
M

In a different thread you indicated that you had returned your copy of FontLab for a refund, so I'm not clear why you need this information.

Please disregard the above comment -- it was misdirected. Apparently you can't edit a post after a certain amount of time has elapsed.

You can place your small caps in any glyph cell you choose -- just then make sure to rename it appropriately and remove any spurious unicode index. Alternately, you can select an entire range of glyphs, copy them, append them, and then in the contextual menu choose more->add suffix to name to automatically create cells named a.smcp, b.smcp, etc.

Thanks Andre, it helped clear up a lot of things
