DOCX to EPUB, font subsetting quirk
Hi,
the docx file has lowercase text uppercased by style (ie. All Caps in font settings of style). When converting to epub, everything works, text is included in lowercase, and CSS style has text-transform: uppercase; BUT: When font subsetting is on, the uppercase letters are not "counted in" and therefore not included in ttf in epub file. There are workarounds (uppercase in word, which is bleh, or not subsetting which produces unnecessarily large epubs). Kovid, is this fixable, or should I "work around"? |

Add a separate page (with a header) with all the desired characters, convert with subset, then delete that (x)html file in the editor.

Attached are original DOCX, converted EPUB and conversion report.
The font is embedded and subsetted, but only uppercase T is included, because it's in the original text. The glyphs for All Caps and Small Caps are not present in subsetted font. I also added EPUB with "subsetting" off, it's much longer (expected) and displays correct glyps (also expected). |

Well text-transform is relatively easy to add, https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...890d7580eefd1c
but font-variant is not going to happen. |

Thanks a lot for the uppercase patch!
I've included small-caps only because I had (wrong) feeling this would be the same beast. Not the case, so I've done some digging in TTF format, I'll check how you actually parse it and if it's possible to submit a patch for this. There are 'c2sc' and 'smcp' display substitution tables which should provide the necessary glyphs for 'please don't remove me' list. |
