How can I use Junicode small caps fonts with LuaLaTeX? The solution posted in textls breaks smallcaps with luatex did not work or I just can't fix it.

Example:

\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX}
\setmainfont[SmallCapsFont={Junicode},SmallCapsFeatures={Letters=SmallCaps}]{Jun‌​icode}
\newfontfamily\scfont[Letters=SmallCaps]{Junicode}

What is wrong with the simple:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX}
\setmainfont{Junicode}

\begin{document}
The quick brown {\scshape smallcaps} jumps over the \emph{italic} fox.
\end{document}

which gives:

  • It does not work with microtype's tracking: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/27555/lualatex-fontspec-and-tracking-with-microtype – Erasm Apr 07 '12 at 07:55

    @Erasm I think that microtype tracking does not work correctly with LuaTeX anyway. – topskip Apr 07 '12 at 08:21

    @Erasm: If you use version 2.5 of the microtype package -- still in (late) beta and available from http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/cgi-bin/package.cgi/action=view/id=423 -- you can use the following options when used with luatex >=0.62: "Protrusion", "Expansion, "Auto" (the combination of "protrusion" and "expansion"), and "Tracking"; what's still left out are "Spacing" and "Kerning". That said, it does indeed seem to be the case that "Tracking" doesn't work correctly with the smallcaps font of Junicode (it sets it in "normal" lowercase letters). – Mico Apr 07 '12 at 11:56
