[XeTeX] Small Caps?

[Jonathan Kew]

Sorry, looks like I was remembering the wrong sort of values to use. 
Try this instead:

\def\tryweight#1{\font\x="Myriad MM:weight=#1" at 12pt \x
  \noindent This is a test for Myriad MM: weight=#1\par}
\newdimen\n \n=0.1pt
{\catcode`\p=12 \catcode`\t=12 \gdef\WT#1.#2#3pt{\def\THEWT{#1.#2}}}
\loop
  \expandafter\WT\the\n \tryweight{\THEWT}
  \ifdim\n<2.5pt \advance\n by 0.1pt \repeat
\bye

Gives me a nice gradual weight change from 0.5 to 2.1.

Apparently giving ATSUI values way outside the expected range can give 
odd effects; probably simply arithmetic overflow somewhere rather than 
clipping the values to the appropriate min/max.
