Small caps style missing

Hi Radek,

I had the same problem with a document that uses the ITC New Baskerville
font.  If you are using a non-standard LaTeX font then maybe your problem is
for a similar reason. To get true small caps in New Baskerville, I would
need to buy the 'Roman SC & OsF' extension from Adobe (or whoever else sells
it). I'm guessing it will be the same for some other fonts.

There is apparently a way to fake small caps, as described in Alan Hoenig's
'TeX Unbound' (section 7.8.4, pages 184-5), but it only applies to OT1
encoding.  My New Baskerville fonts are LY1 encoded, so I haven't tried this
method.

David

Hi everyone,

having successfully solved my previous problem thanks to your help, I have
another font related problem.

It turns out that if I try to use \sc or \textsc or \scshape, DVIWINDO
replies:

"Can't find Font:
tirsc (9)
NoFaceName
(Windows offers Arial)"

Then it just puts regular upright Times Roman there. I have the YandY Tex
2.2 with MathTime fonts. It seems like small caps font is missing. Should it
be there? If it's not there, how can I get it/install it?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Radek
