No Small Caps in XD , no small problem

Yesteday, I forgot past experiences and try to use small caps in XD again.  Despite requests by users for a few years, it seems that Adobe has not yet addressed this problem.  And that makes it a big problem - Adobe is quick to advertise how seemlessly Adobe fonts integrates with the Creative Suite, but this is a significant and notable exception that makes that claim false.  XD is a design tool marketed on the basis of its ability to create realistic prototypes.  To hamstring designers by not supporting full access to all the features of an Adobe provided font is inexcusable - having full access to all the features of an adoble font should have been considered an element from version 1 of the software, not an enhancement tabled until enough requests/complaints are made. 

Imagine what it would be like designing "realistic" prototypes if another feature, like the spectrum of your color palette was limited to a Crayola box of 64....  I would argue that, for most designers, selection of typeface styles is no less important than color, layout or any other aspect of a design (and for many it is probably the most important).

Adobe have you forgotten your origins - you've been asssociated with type since you were born.  Reorganize your priorities and give us full access to font features before more and more of us wonder if you are now a geriatric in need of being committed instead of the trailblazing innovator of your youth.

I would recommend upvoting the feature request and adding your comments on the Adobe XD Uservoice page. That's where the Adobe XD team will see it. If the feature gets enough support, then it'll will be more likely to get implemented.

I just found out that my smcp request is waiting for almost three years now at AdobeXD User Voice...

Changed to Figma and that's no fun because I can not use my CC Library. A lot of extra work! 😞

If Adobe's acquisition of Figma works out, I would think it's likely CC Libraries would become integrated:
