Except that this is not what small-caps means...
A 'small caps' transformation by definition only affects lower-case
characters -- upper case is not changed. Furthermore, the "small caps"
font used for the lower case characters is not generally the same as a
"shrunk" upper case font -- it is a true variant, with differences in
kerning, hinting, etc.
