most word processing applications, including microsoft word and pages, do not automatically substitute true small caps when working with opentype fonts such as hoefler text that include them, instead generating scaled ones. these applications must therefore work with fonts that have true small caps as a completely separate style, similar to bold or italic. few free and open-source fonts have this feature; an exception is georg duffner's eb garamond, in open beta. libreoffice writer started allowing true small caps for opentype fonts since version 5.3, they can be enabled via a syntax used in the font name input box, including font name, a colon, feature tag, an equals sign and feature value, for example, codice_5, and version 6.2 added a dialog to switch.
