Re: [XeTeX] XeTeX OpenType Features bug?
@David Barts: You say: "I can access the small caps via the \fontspec macro” — what \fontspec macro is that? Earlier: "Interesting. This works for me!” — what is ’this’? (It just occurred to me that, for some reason, I may not have the entire email exchange.) I’ve also tried Hoefler, but without success.

Re: [XeTeX] XeTeX OpenType Features bug?
In case it helps, whenever I've had even the hint of an issue accessing a font from the system I invoke it from where I have stored the file of the font itself, e.g.: \font\ormplanteight="[D:/BACKUPS/FONTBKUP/ORMULUM/OrmPlant.ttf]" at 8pt (I'm not a LaTeX user but as far as I know plain (Xe)TeX commands will still work in LaTeX.)

Well it would be easier to help if you would put a bit more effort
in giving details, for example a complete example. As it is it is
both unclear what you did before and what you did now. But as a
guess: the renderer could make a difference. That means
\setmainfont{Hoefler Text}[Renderer=OpenType]
and
\setmainfont{Hoefler Text}
could behave differently. (I don't have a mac and the font so I
can't test)

Re: [XeTeX] XeTeX OpenType Features bug?
I still use fontforge as fontlab is not really good for me. However, fontforge
clearlyshows that the smcp table is there and the designers of the font use the
.small nameextension in their mapping. I have tried the following example
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{xgreek}
\begin{document}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text,Ligatures=Common]{Hoefler Text}
\
This is a simple example. \textsc{This is a simple example}.
\end{document}
And xelatex produced the expected output. And I am not using a
"fancy" OS like Windows or MacOS. I am on Solaris.

Re: [XeTeX] XeTeX OpenType Features bug?
This list has /already/ been helpful as it helped me find a workaround.
To reiterate my earlier messages, using \fontspec{Hoefler
Text}[Renderer=OpenType,
RawFeature={+smcp}]does get me small caps, while using \textsc or
\scshapedoes not.
See attached files.
