	Small caps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In typography, small caps (short for small capitals) are uppercase (capital) characters that are printed in a smaller size than normal uppercase characters of the same font.
		Well-designed small capitals are not simply scaled-down versions of normal capitals; they normally have retain same stroke weight as other letters, and a wider aspect ratio to facilitate readability.
		Small caps are often used for text that is all uppercase; this makes the run of capital letters seem less "jarring" to the reader.

	Capital letters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Capital letters (also simply called capitals or caps) are also known as upper case; manual typesetters kept them in the upper drawers of a desk, keeping the more frequently used minuscule letters on the lower shelf.
		Capitalization is the writing of a word with its first letter in upper-case and the remaining letters in lower-case.
		Capitalization rules vary by language and are often quite complex, but in most modern languages that have capitalization, the first word of every sentence is capitalized, as are all proper nouns.

		The Accumulation of Capitals and the Competition among the Capitalists The increase of capitals, which raises wages, tends to lower profits, as a result of the competition among capitalists.
		as the ordinary rate of clear profit would be very small, so the usual market rate of interest which could be afforded out of it would be so low as to render it impossible for any but the very wealthiest of people to live upon the interest of their money.
		The accumulation of large capitals is generally accompanied by a concentration and simplification of fixed capital, as compared with the smaller capitalists.

	Use the right character
		When your document calls for all capitals, use one of the small capital typefaces available from Adobe.
		Smaller versions of regular capital letters, called small capitals, are designed to be visually appealing with lowercase characters in a typeface — that is, they are drawn to have the same typographic color as the lowercase.
		Small capitals are useful for section headings or chapter titles, to accent important words or phrases in mid-sentence, or at the beginning of a paragraph for a lead-in.

	[Q] setting the xheight
		If you use normal accents with small capitals you must make sure that the accents on top of the small capitals are vertically moved to the identical position where they are in the composite characters already pre-built.
		Since the small capitals are usually a bit higher than x one must usually increase the x-height a bit to avoid the normal accents floating too high.
		A general tip is to avoid using ligatures from small caps fonts due to a bug of Acrobat in using font substitution by MM fonts if the sc font is unavailable for display/print.
