Hello,
I'm new to sIFR and so far it's working very nicely. But now I need to replace something in small-caps. I tried just adding
font-variant: small-caps;
to my css inside the sIFR.replace() call, but it didn't work. I've read through all the sIFR documentation at http://wiki.novemberborn.net/sifr3 and realize there are certain CSS rules it doesn't support. So I'm hoping there's another way to render the replacement text in small-caps.
Thanks for any suggestions.
EDIT: I think I've found part of the answer at Joyent Forums and Mike Davidson's site (I can't post the links, though, apparently, because I'm a new user a Stack Overflow). It seems that small-caps isn't supported by Flash. You have to use a font that has a small-caps variant built in. Though I'm wondering if anything has changed since then (2004).
So now my question is how do I get Flash to recognize the small caps in Arno Pro? Arno Pro has a beautiful set of small-caps characters in all of it's five font weights and italics, but no specific "Arno Pro Small Caps" setting like other fonts (Mrs. Eaves, for example). I guess it's just left to you to use the small-caps setting in your software (ahem, Adobe) to get the effect. Arno Pro is from the Adobe foundry, yet it doesn't work in Adobe Flash.
So does anyone know if there's a workaround?
