Hello,

I'm trying to get in a section title a word in small capitals. The LateX
code generated by LyX is :

\section{L'élaboration du concept de spiritualia dans la première moitié du
\noun{xii}\ieme\ siècle}

but on the the DVI output, xii is still in roman and not in small capitals.
I'm using
the Koma-Script Article Layout and sadly can't access to Herbert Voss
Website.

Cheers,
Charles

I think the problem is that small caps does not exist in bold in
default TeX fonts. There are probably some fonts which have bold
smallcaps, but I do not know which ones.

I think the problem is that small caps does not exist in bold in
default TeX fonts. There are probably some fonts which have bold
smallcaps, but I do not know which ones.
The french FAQ states that EC fonts do have bold series in small caps
unlike Computer Modern ones (including cm-super ? don't know)

The french FAQ used to include a command that I had set up here as
a package, you might test it (\scgras{xii} in ERT once the package
is loaded).

Of course it could be better to change the font (what about lmodern ?)
