Smallcaps font size

JSWolf · Today, 03:47 PM

I was recently editing an eBook that used some smallcaps. So I decided to find out what the size of the smallcaps is.

Comparing fake smallcaps to real smallcaps in the calibre editor, I've found that 0.8333em is the size of smallcaps.

Code:

.smallcaps {
  font-size: 0.8333em;
}

I've been using font-size: 0.8em; for fake smallcaps.
Close enough.

Depends on the font and whether it has embedded smallcaps (OTF for the most part) or if you are using an separate font file (most TTF and quite a few OTF). My limited testing showed anything from 0.75em to 0.88em.

I was using ChareInk6SP when I did the comparison.

Like most font related stuff, there's little consistency.
