Small caps in Text variable

Hi everyone !

I have a text variable to which I have applied a character style.
With this style my text should be in small caps, but when I use it on the text variable the small caps don't work.
Only the first 2 letters are in small capitals, the rest is in lower case.

Do you see the same problems?
Could anyone help me?
Maybe I miss something.

Thanks !

Hi @oups_, okay sorry, it took me a while to look into this properly. I have determined that this is a real bug and I've lodged a bug report—please vote here.

The easiest workaround is to change the composer to a non-world-ready composer. That makes the problem go away. See my video below.

Hi @m1b ,

Indeed, everything works normally when I change the composer.

Thank you so much !

I voted for the reported bug.

Same results for me - works ok

Some fonts don't have the glyphs for the small caps

Most do

Try reinstall the font - or reactivate in Adobe Fonts.

Thank you for your answers.
I deleted then re-installed the font,
I recreated a paragraph and character style to make sure there are no interferences:
It still does not work 😞
Here is my demo .indd file, and a photo of what is displayed on my screen (in case you don't have the same result with my file on your computer)
On the first line: we see that without using the text variable, small caps work normally with this font.
And on the 2nd line, with text variable: it no longer works.

Hi @oups_, that is quite strange. Can you share your demo .indd document?

When I try the same it seems to work fine.

After reading your answer, I tried with a different font, and small capitals operate normally !

The problem therefore seems to come from the font used : Houschka Pro

What's strange is that small capitals work perfectly with this font on "standard" text.

The problem only appears in text variables. 🤨

Is there a solution to conturn the problem ? (I can't change the font)

Hi @oups_, I tried with Houschka Pro and it worked fine for me. Could you please check that you don't have a nested style or grep style in your Paragraph Style? Maybe try setting it in another Paragraph Style and just changing the font and see if that works. Otherwise, it's very strange situation. Let me know if you can notice anything.
