Details

Small caps are currently synthesized using resizing code called from within layout text frame code: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/generic/nsTextRunTransformations.cpp#267 To properly support small-cap glyphs we need to detect whether a font supports small-cap glyphs and only do the synthesis if it doesn't support the OpenType 'smcp' feature. This is a bit tricky since it essentially needs to happen after font matching is done. What I'm proposing to do for this bug is to move the logic for doing small-caps synthesis down into gfx. A later bug will implement the switch as to whether to use real small-caps or synthesize them.
