How to use .sc glyph for 0 to 9 digit

[mehulchanpura]

Hi.

I am using Tiro Devanagari Hindi.ttf version 1.62. If I want to use small caps for English alphabet like a to z, it's works, but with number like 0 to 9 it's not same working like alphabet. Even i can change in font advance setting > Number forms > Lining.

but it not seems like .sc glyph, so please guide me how can i use zero.sc to nine.sc in my ms word 2021 document?

The .sc glyphs are behind c2sc feature registered by Adobe. I don't think this feature is available in Word.

Two different OpenType Layout features are used to activate smallcaps in apps that support this.

The smcp feature maps lowercase letter characters to smallcaps, and the c2sc feature maps uppercase and any additional characters such as numerals, punctuation, to smallcap variants (not all fonts will include the same set of smallcap variants). The thinking behind this is that in mixed uppercase + smallcap settings, things like punctuation and numerals will remain aligned to the uppercase, and only lowercase letters will become smallcaps. In order to get the smallcap numerals, you need to activate both features, i.e. all-smallcaps setting.

Unfortunately, MS Word does not provide access to these features, but instead applies a fake smallcaps scaling of the uppercase glyphs, and only applies this to lowercase characters. Contrast, the ‘smallcaps’ produced by MS Word

with the actual .sc smallcap variants in the font

Note the different proportions and stroke weights in the true smallcaps.
