Subject: Winsel Font – Small Caps Not Functioning in InDesign

[Auke29735899tgzy]

Hi Adobe Fonts team,

I'm using the Winsel variable font from Adobe Fonts in InDesign, and I've run into an issue with small caps.

I can see what appear to be small cap glyphs in the Glyphs panel, but:

• The "Small Caps" and "All Small Caps" options in the Character panel and character styles don’t activate them.

• Stylistic Sets (SS01–SS20) also don’t change the characters.

• When I try to double-click a small cap glyph in the Glyphs panel, it just inserts the regular lowercase letter instead.

It seems like the small caps are present in the font visually but aren’t connected to any accessible OpenType features(like smcp or c2sc). Could you confirm if this is a font issue? And is there any workaround or plan to update the Winsel font to support real small caps?

Thanks very much for your help!

From what I have read, that seems to be a bug Adobe boffin are actively working on.

OpenType features can be language and writing script specific.

Use "[No language]" rather than English USA

Other non-Latin writing scripts (Arabic, Russian …) will also do.
