Description

When using the font with LibreOffice Writer, GIMP and Inkscape everything works as expected but in Blender, FreeCAD and KDE's kfontview the lower case glyphs are not proper small caps but actual lower case letters.

An older compiled version hosted on ffonts.net works as expected.

Edit: This might be intended behavior and just a feature not supported by a lot of software like Blender. Maybe host both versions, one with baked in small caps and one with the "proper" way?

Research direction

Reproduce the font behavior in Blender, FreeCAD, and KDE's kfontview, then compare it with the older compiled version hosted on ffonts.net. Check how LibreOffice Writer, GIMP, and Inkscape render the same glyphs. Done means determining whether the current behavior is an error or an intentional compatibility limitation, and documenting or resolving the version distinction.
