When I try to do something like \section{Heading with \textsc{small caps}}, the compiler complains with "LaTeX Font Warning: Some font shapes were not available, defaults substituted." and replaces the small-caps with normal test.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
The standard Computer Modern fonts don't contain bold small caps. You could use the CM-Super fonts instead; add to the preamble
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
cm-super, and you don't really need \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} to use cm-super AFAIK, although it's a good idea for other reasons, and with T1 fontenc the fonts being used are not CM fonts but actually EC fonts. (I may be wrong, please correct me.)

cm-super installed. And \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} changes from cm to cm-super. I don't know what's the situation with other distributions (MiKTeX).

{\normalfont\scshape text}instead, but it might not look good. – Martin Scharrer May 09 '11 at 22:28
