That unless the heads and titles are typed in all caps, they will convert to Upper & Lower Case when creating the eBook if the palette is used. This publisher claims that using the palette is a no-no. If the chapter title is all caps, and the running heads are Upper & Lower Case, then many times I have to create separate master pages for some chapters when the “Title Case” feature doesn’t work properly using variables (i.e., words such as “of,” “the,” etc.). Of course, this always causes extra work. We have one client (a major book publisher) who insists we cannot use the palette-that anything that is all capitalized (i.e., heads, part and chapter titles, etc), must be keyed in all caps. I totally agree with the reasons for using the palette, instead of keying in all capital letter. So, here’s yet another reason to use the All Caps styling rather than typing in all caps: You can get added, bonus OpenType features to help make your text look even more awesome. Sometimes it affects numerals.”įor example, you can see how the punctuation changes in the following image (with some guides added to help): Commonly this is used on hyphens and dashes, the Spanish inverted question mark, and a few others. Often fairly subtly so, just a few units.” and “Some OpenType fonts adjust position (or even shape/size) of some glyphs in all-caps situations. Thomas explained: “Some OpenType fonts have a specific fontwide spacing adjustment programmed in for all-caps settings. I reached out to font expert Thomas Phinney to ask why, and he explained that some OpenType fonts have two extra settings: “cap spacing” and “uppercase alternates.” There is no user-interface for turning these on or off in InDesign, but when you apply the All Caps styling (that TT button), they get activated! But in a few fonts (notably many “Pro” fonts from Adobe), it does. Now, here’s the crazy part: In most fonts this doesn’t happen. In the image below, the first line has been typed in ALL CAPS and the second line has been typed in lower-case and the All Caps styling applied to it:Ĭan you see the difference? The second line is longer! recently pointed out a strange inconsistency when applying the All Caps styling to text. HOWEVER, a funny thing sometimes happens when you apply ALL CAPS. Then, later, it’s easy to change, right? Just remove the formatting. More after the jump! Continue reading below↓įree and Premium members see fewer ads! Sign up and log-in today.
