Hello everyone, My question is just that: Is it possible to have the text displayed using the _Roman or Sans Serif_ Family and using the *Bold* Series and using the *Small Caps* shape when using the high quality Computer Modern or Latin Modern fonts? And of course, preferably within Lyx..
Some searching on the Internet revealed me that this is a known problem. This is one nice document on the shapes and series contained in the CM and LM fonts [1] (apparently, outdated). I also found this workaround, but it seems quite complex for me [2]. I also found a ConTeXt module, "Bold small caps" [3], but am quite ignorant how can it be used within Lyx. However, the answer to this problem is the cm-super package [4]. This is a more recent version of the Computer Modern font, that includes a wider selection of fonts. So, you either install it manually or switch from an ancient tex distribution (e.g. tetex) to TexLive-2007 (if you're on Gentoo, first check the Wiki for instructions and then emerge).
