Thanks for the followup, Jonathan. I may indeed have multiple versions,
as follows:

/home/ross/localfonts/serliolt.sty
/home/ross/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/serliolt
/home/ross/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/serliolt/LY1-SerlioLTStd-kern--base.tfm
/home/ross/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/serliolt/LY1-SerlioLTStd-kern.tfm
/home/ross/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/serliolt/LY1-SerlioLTStd-sups-kern--base.tfm
/home/ross/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/serliolt/LY1-SerlioLTStd-sups-kern.tfm
/home/ross/texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/serliolt
/home/ross/texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/serliolt/SerlioLTStd.pfb
/home/ross/texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/serliolt/SerlioLTStdLCDFJ.pfb
/home/ross/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/serliolt
/home/ross/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/serliolt/LY1-SerlioLTStd-kern.vf
/home/ross/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/serliolt/LY1-SerlioLTStd-sups-kern.vf
/home/ross/texmf/localfonts/serliolt.sty
/home/ross/texmf/tex/latex/localfonts/serliolt.sty
/var/lib/auctex/emacs-snapshot/serliolt.elc
/var/lib/auctex/emacs22/serliolt.elc

The above is a listing of "locate serlio". Below is what fc-list
reports:

Serlio LT Std:style=Regular

Just the one entry. OpenType-info.tex shows a single entry for LATN,
without the caps.

I don't know enough about fonts in tex to know if the above might be
causing the problem. But all the versions above were installed from
using lcdftypetools (the otfinst.py script that automates the install).
So, maybe the otfinst versions were created without the small caps
features. I don't know how to check this. Suggestions welcome. But as I
look at the list above, I notice that the actual .otf file is not listed, and
it does not appear, in ~/.fonts. That may be the root of the whole issue!
I could try putting it there, but then I will certainly have multiple
versions... Suggestions welcome.

Cheers.

Ross
