After updating to 22.2.1 build 3 I've got strange problem with "All Caps" feature in Character control.
Some letters are "caps" and some are not, some letters can be made bold after that and some not. No issues like that were present in previous version.

See attached file. If font is anything else that "Regular" "All caps" is tottaly crazy.

I think that's a known issue/ bug. As a start, check the advanced substitution options in the panel flyout menu. Turning off those sometimes fixes things. Otherwise I guess you'll just have to find a different font that has a native all caps/ small caps version and doesn't rely on the font engine picking the characters.

Did you ever get this issue resolved?  I am having the same problem and it is with multiple fonts. Some fonts are effected with some letters and others with other letters. I am not able to update so I hope this isn't an issue that was fixed and pushed out in a later update.

I am currently using Version 22.1.1 (Build 74) and because of the stupid contract that Adobe made with the US Air Force I will not be able to update this version for a few years.

Having the same problem. ver 24.0.3.  build 2. 
What happens: In some fonts (not all of them) I cannot write all letters in ALL CAPS. When wroting in all caps, some letters display uppercase and some lowercase. No matter if I use Caps Lock to write or if I use the Uppercase option on the character panel. 
Happens only in AE. This issue doesn not occur in Photoshop or Illustrator (so not a font issue). Only AE. 
If e.g. I write text in uppercase (using a font which works) and then try to change to the desired font, half the letters get substituted correctly and half the letters don't at all (resulting in a mixture of different fonts every letter). 
The font I need to use is a OTF. 
Happens in every project (as well as New Project).  

Very frustrated as I need to use particular fonts for a client for a project due tomorrow 😉

Similarly still have this issue.

To be honest it's a bit of a joke for a professional product.

What can I do?

 

Version 24.1.0

I have the same issue, but it's not even every instance of the font in the same project - it happens on one instance, but if I duplicate another instance I can then replace the text with what I want, and it's fine.

Had the same issue today. Details of how I think the issue happens below.
Text had been animated using Source Text keyframes. I had later changed the font using expressions.

Each keyframe has "ALL CAPS" applied in the character burger menu.

Most, but not all capital "D" and "L" were turned lowercase after exporting to media encoder.

I also tried adding all caps into the exporessions panel. This sometimes changed certain characters back to the original font, not the font specified in the expression panel.

 

Resolution: I've found that the video renders normally in aftereffects render queue, the issue seems to be with Media Encoder, or maybe whatever dynamic link thing-a-magig is doing.

Please dont come for me for my workflow! I'm just a graphic designer trying to get by!

Well would you look at that. 2 years later and i havent seen a solution. I have ran into this issue for months and just worked around it. im tired of doing that. i take it no one has figured out what is going on? i would chaulk it up to TTF vs OTF files but in this case it is a font directly from Adobe Fonts. same issue though, i type something and force caps in heavy type face, then i change it to regular and the whole thing breaks. upper, lower, even throws in a random font file like times new roman. help!!

Which version (build) are you currently having the problem with? 
I have also been frustrated with this for 2 years. No solution. The only workaround I have been doing is installing old versions of AE. I've also got lost in which versions this prblem occurs and in which doesn't so I've wasted so much time installing and uninstalling, trial end error. There's a new version, I update, problem occurs, then I go back and try to find an olde one which is ok. Totally stupid and so frustrating.

I just upgraded to latest version last Friday. CC25 but i have had the issues going back as far as CC22. but it was random and didnt effect a lot. Now i fee like its hapenning more and more. Its when it happened to an Adobe sanctioned font that it really started to bother me. My workaround so far is to type the font exactly how you want it in PS, then copy and paste into AE. the funny part is as soon as you change the family, the font breaks, and when you change it back, the break follows. LOL. we pay for this??!! So good luck. but so far, that seems to be doing the trick.

Does the expression 

 

value.toUpperCase();
// or try with your country code or en_US
value.toLocaleUpperCase('fr-FR');

 

fix the problem?

 

I went through all my fonts, and there are only two that cause issues, and it's only with accents.

I am truly thrilled it works for you. But it, along with a few others, do not work for me. Like i said, there is a bug somewhere, something is breaking it. But its more frustrating that it isnt across the board on every font, seems to be random. Just weird, and since im not the only one having an issue, trying to find a solution. here is a screen record with my process and how i create the bug.
