===Word processors=== Professional desktop publishing applications supporting genuine small caps include Quark XPress, and Adobe Creative Suite applications.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What's OpenType? |url=http://www.typography.com/techniques/opentype/ |access-date=11 August 2014 |publisher=Hoefler & Frere-Jones}}</ref> Most word processing applications, including [[Microsoft Word]] and [[Apple Pages|Pages]], do not automatically substitute true small caps when working with OpenType fonts that include them, instead generating scaled ones. For these applications it is therefore easier to work with fonts that have true small caps as a completely separate style, similar to bold or italic. Few free and open-source fonts have this feature; an exception is Georg Duffner's [[EB Garamond]], in open beta.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Duffner |first=Georg |title=Design of EB Garamond |url=http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/design.html |access-date=11 August 2014}}</ref> [[LibreOffice Writer]] started allowing true small caps for OpenType fonts since version 5.3, they can be enabled via a syntax used in the Font Name input box, including font name, a colon, feature tag, an equals sign and feature value, for example, <code>EB Garamond 12:smcp=1</code>,<ref name="LO5.3">{{Cite web |title=Release Notes 5.3 |url=http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.3 |access-date=29 December 2016 |publisher=The Document Foundation}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=18 November 2016 |title=Opentype features now enabled? Documentation? |url=https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/82052/opentype-features-now-enabled-documentation/ |access-date=29 December 2016 |publisher=Ask LibreOffice}}</ref> and version 6.2 added a dialog to switch.<ref name="lo6.2">{{Cite web |title=ReleaseNotes/6.2 |url=https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.2 |access-date=26 February 2019 |website=Wiki |publisher=The Document Foundation}}</ref>
