Pages 4.2 no Small Caps can be activated

I use a lot Pages for texts, flyers and posters. There seems to be a serious bug within Pages 4.2. if you open the typo panel and activate the Small Caps feature or Opentype fonts they though they can be clicked Pages does not transform the marked text into Small Caps. So the this opentype feature doesn't finction under Pages any more. I experienced also kerning problems within Pages 4.2 using the word "Test". There is no kerning between T and e using the Fakt font from Ourtype. The same problems don't occur in TextEdit and the same problems never occured under Leopard or Lion, so it seems to be a sole Pages 4.2. problem under Mountain Lion. I reported it to the Apple Bug Reporter (no reply so far) but would be interested what you guys think of it and if you experience the same problems?

Sorry for the spelling and grammar errors, here again the topic:

IWorks: no small caps can be activated

Hi there, I wonder why so far no body has picked up or discussed a serious bug in iWorks that is: that no true small caps from opentype fonts can be activated via the typography panel within Mountain Lion. The problem exists with Pages 4.2., Numbers 2.2., and Keynote 5.2. Its also impossible to install the former version of Pages, 4.1., under Mountain Lion, where this function still worked. There are also problem with the kerning. Opentype fonts who have kerning like Fakt from Ourtype have no kerning in iWork products but they have it in TextEdit. Within TextEdit those problem don't exist.
I reported these problems to https://bugreport.apple.com/ but no response so far.

In one of my pages on facebook the page size is really small, how can I set it to a normal size so I can read what I'm reading?

When I sign into my facebook account the pages are good that it looks normal, I go into another page where I have to switch to play another game and that screen is tiny now last night I was playing wordhunt and created some words at the same time so I thought that I had to hit and hold the control button so my other words that I created wouldn't loose them and that's when my page started getting smaller and smaller now I can't see that certain page of my facebook, is there anything that I can do to help with fixing this problem that I have cause I need to get into this page to play my other games?

Hopefully this support article is what you need:

The font size on a web page is now so small I can't read it.Ok with IE

Without warning I am unable to read articles on Gary Bagnall's blog. I do not have any problem though when using Internet Explorer. I have gone to Tools, Options, Content and the font shows as Times New Roman size 16

Somehow the settings changed so the search results page has text so small that I can't read it

when I launch firefox the initial page is find. I type in a search phrase, and the search results page comes up with print so small I can't read it. I can't find any way of changing the "view" of the results pages.

Why does my web page reduce so small I can't read it?

Why does my web page reduce so small I can't read it?

The type is small on the website but that's because of all the stuff that they are cramming onto the page. A couple of other users made this same comment about eBay a while ago, as I recall.
There is no setting in Safari in which you can enlarge the size of the text.

Photoshop CS3 can't do lowercase type-only large and small caps

Photoshop CS3, G5 PowerMac Dual 2GHz w/ 7GB RAM
A weird Photoshop problem: using the type tool, I can only produce type in large-and-small-caps, as opposed to upper and lower case. I can't generate any lowercase text. I've tried all the usual diagnostic tools: trashing the prefs seemed to work at first, but it's destructive of other stuff I don't want to lose, and anyway the problem came back after a while. I tried the Phantom User, and learned that the problem is tied to my User Identity, i.e., the problem doesn't exist in other User identities, but how do I make use of that information? I considered migrating to a new user identity, but I would have to go through every single appliciation, blah blah blah. So: does anybody have a quick, elegant solution to this, or is this a problem that has suddenly cropped up elsewhere? I'm not crippled by it, thanks to Illustrator CS3, but it's a convenience that I miss. And how do I trash the PS prefs without losing my brush tool presets?

Birck, >trashing the prefs seemed to work at first, but it's destructive of other stuff I don't want to lose, What "destruction" are you talking about? >and anyway the problem came back after a while. I assume this happens with fonts other than those (such as Trajan Std) that were designed with just caps and small caps. It sounds like it may be a duplicate or corrupted font issue. Did you use a good font manager to check for duplicate or corrupted fonts? Did you clear font caches (with Cocktail)? > tried the Phantom User, I see a black mask, cape and scary organ music here. <g> If logging in as a new user clears the problem, you may have a corrupted user identity and should stop using it.

Small Caps in Pages?

Is there any way in Pages to convert text to Small Caps? Or all the other "usual" text conversions (upper, lower, etc.)?
Thanks for any help!

How can small caps be used in Flash CS5?

Garamond Premier Pro includes small caps. When I select that font in Flash I can't see a way to select the small caps. An earlier discussion says that they are not supported in CS4. Are they supported in Flash CS5? How do I select them in Flash CS5? Thanks.

Hi,
Could you please let us know on which text component do you intend to use Squiggly?? Squiggly is a Action Script 3.0 Library which currently supports few UIComponents like:
MX components: TextArea, TextInput and RichTextEditor
Spark components: TextArea and TextInput
In addition it supports TLF TextFlow.
Thanks

Can you adjust the settings for Small Caps

Just curious...
In every other Adobe program you can control the "ratio" of the small caps function by percentage. (The small cap is 80% of the large cap, etc)
I'm not seeing where I can adjust this vital setting in Photoshop, any version.
Help appreciated.

Smart objects from IND is one workaround. Set type in IND, export as PDF, and place PDF as smart object in PS. You should be able to edit using any PS effects you need. If the type is still editable as PS type, then the smart object equivalent should be editable as well.
To edit the smart object, go back to IND, tweak the type, re-export PDF, and then replace the smart object contents in PS with the updated PDF. Six clicks and presto! :)
This seems a three-sides-of-the-square solution. Why you can't edit the PDF in Acrobat is beyond me. Not like I'm using the workflow in production or anything... maybe someone has a better way.
ed: warp text is a bust. Maybe you're just better off making your own small caps...

Small caps in running heads - mixed case problem

My running head is set to be small caps, and it picks up mixed-case text from the document. I want the head to be all 'lower case' small caps (or 'upper case', unless that really means ordinary caps) but can see no way to achieve this. Instead I get 'mixed case' small caps, if that makes any sense. If I select the head on the master page and then Type | Change Case, this has no effect on the appearance either on the master or the generated heads. How do I achieve uniform small caps where the source text for the running head is mixed-case? If small .indd attachments were allowed I would have attached one, but it got rejected despite not being llisted as a forbidden type.

A few ways to do this:
a script: http://jsid.blogspot.com/2005/09/script-of-day-changing-case-again.html
or in your paragraph styles use OT small caps (assuming you're using an OT font)
I also set up a keyboard shortcut, to Type > Change Case > lowercase
you could probably do it with GREP too...

Small Caps in FCP?

Anyone know how to use small caps in text in FCP? I tried copy and paste from Word and Pages but it didn't work.

Interesting question, JJ. Altho you worded your question as "how to use small caps..." I'm guessing you're asking how to create small caps in FCP. I don't think you can.
I just played a bit with the various FCP text generators and I don't see a small caps option. An outside app like Word creates small caps, but Borris doesn't import Word docs. Borris imports TextEdit rtf files, but TextEdit doesn't do small caps.
Depending on the end result you want, you might need to create your text image in a program like Photoshop then import that file into FCP and add motion as needed.
With all the ways to play with text using the tools provided by FCP, I've never considered small caps. But, now that you bring it up, I'd also be interested in finding out if there's a simple method to create that style in FCP.

Small caps not working in web fonts

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem implementing OpenType features in web fonts. No matter what typeface or browser I use—and I've tried several of each—I can't get the CSS font-face property to listen to font-variant:small-caps. In every case, the browser synthesizes its own small caps by scaling the full caps, which of course looks terrible.
The typefaces I've tried with this are all open-source advanced fonts: Cabin, Cardo, Lato, and Sorts Mill Goudy, all of which support small caps at least in their roman, regular-weight face. I've used Firefox 5, Opera 11.5, and the latest build of Iron (Chrome without Big Brother), all to no avail.
It's worth mentioning that other properties of advanced web typography, such as automatic ligatures (as well as the font-face property itself), are all working.
You can see my test page at http://www.utcolmus.org/test.html , and the CSS file at http://www.utcolmus.org/main.css. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Bram

Yeah, that doesn't work.
CSS 3 supports directly accessing real small caps. Currently only Firefox supports this, and only via moz-prefixed properties (which makes sense as CSS 3 isn't final yet).

Office 2013 RTM: STILL no true small caps: WHY? WHY? WHY?

I have just un-installed the Office 2013 Preview, and installed the Office 2013 RTM 60-day trial.
I had hoped that between the two versions, the issue of missing true small caps in Word had been addressed. But no. Whilst Word 2013 supports OpenType ligatures and OpenType stylistic sets and OpenType old-style numbers and and and, it STILL DOES NOT SUPPORT
TRUE SMALL CAPS. Yes, it has a small caps function, but this just reduces the size of the font, instead of using the dedicated small caps letters included in a lot of OpenType fonts. What's the difference? The difference is that with true small caps, the stroke
width of upper case, lower case and small caps letters match, whereas in the cheapy, flimsy, yucky version that Office only offers, the small caps letters are thinner than the normal letters of that font - obviously so, as they are merely shrunken.
Try it for yourself. Type something like "AaMmXx" in an OpenType font with small caps, say, Calibri or Gabriola, at, say, 24pt, in Word 2013 and in Publisher 2013, and apply small caps in each, and print them. Compare the stroke widths. See what I mean?
Publisher does true small caps. Word doesn't.
So, why, Microsoft, why, oh why, oh why, when other typographical features (ligatures, stylistic sets, etc. etc. & so 4th) are supported in Word 2013, are small caps not? I just don't understand it. Why? Are small caps held to be something that only
professional typesetters should be allowed to use with typesetting programs like Publisher, whereas ordinary folk with Word shouldn't? Or is it trick to boost sales of Puiblisher? Or did no-one think about it? What is it? Because it's very annoying!

Well, in the second place, inserting characters via Insert Symbol is a pain in the posterior, and, of course, the spell checker doesn't recognise them. But in the first place, that only works if the font author has been thoughtful enough to give the small
caps glyphs Unicode code points, say, in the Private Use Area (like in Calluna). Normally, however, they don't - the small caps glyphs are only accessible via a small caps function, as lacking in Word. Excel is worse - apparently, Microsoft think that OpenType
advanced features ought not to be used in spreadsheets.
So having found fonts with small caps, the only way to use them is to use a font program either to assign the small caps glyphs to PUA code points, or to put them in a separate font (which at least means that other applications and spell checkers can use
them).

I have an IPad 4. After updating the system, when I try to look at picture on Facebook and make it larger, there is just a "circle" in the middle of the page instead of the picture. Can anyone help me?

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
