[XeTeX] \newfontface and small caps

Hi,

I?m relatively new to XeTeX and I?m a bit puzzled by the usage of fontspec
and \newfontface. Take this example:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}

\begin{document}

{\fontspec{Adobe Caslon Pro}\scshape Adobe Caslon Pro}

\newfontface\myfont{Adobe Caslon Pro}

{\myfont\scshape Adobe Caslon Pro}

\end{document}

The first line has nice text with small caps from the font. However, the second
line does not have small caps. I cannot find anything that would explain this
behavior. I also tried setting SmallCapsFeatures={Letters=SmallCaps} in the
newfontface options, but that didn?t help either.

Can anyone tell me how to make this work?

Kind regards,

Martijn Storck
