Faking small caps with heavier weights

Hi all,

I'm a fontinst amateur and while I've had moderate
success using fontinst to install Adobe's Bembo
typefaces, I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to make
the faked small caps look decent. In particular I was
wondering if it would be possible to use the caps from
the next heavier weight (e.g., make a Semibold font
whose small caps characters are scaled caps from the
Bold font, etc.).

So far I've been using the line:
\installfont{pbbsrc8o}{pbbs8x,pbbsj8r,dotlessj,latinx}{T1c}{T1}{pbb9}{sb}{sc}
but I'm not exactly sure where to go from here...

thanks in advance,
christian
