For those of interested in the look of text, it would be appealing to be able to use small caps and old style numerals where appropriate. Many Google fonts contain them in their repertoire and I can access them in other programmes but not in EverWeb. Any suggestions?

Can you give an example of what you mean by "small caps and old style numerals"?

Happy to oblige. The attached sample shows the difference between the characters. There are distinct Unicode numbers for each as well as different glyph numbers within the font itself.

Here's a demo of some font variations on a web page.

Thanks for the code which works for both the small caps and the old style numerals. I've found two things in my testing, though. The first is that when I insert the CSS snippet I get a blank space above the text in the text box. All padding is set to zero and the box is set at y=0. The second is that the special text renders correctly on a desktop computer using Safari but not on iPads of mobile phones. Any thoughts?

Try setting the paragraph margin to zero in the styles. The browser default for <p> is ... margin-top: 1em;margin-bottom: 1em; 1em is about 16px There's a lot things not supported in Safari for iOS. This type of styling is not used much and for good reason. It creates problems for those with reading difficulties. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Thank you for the advice - it did the trick. Of interest, Safari in iOS does render small caps and old style numerals correctly on iPads and iPhones when iWeb is used to assemble the pages. As to whether or not those typographical features make reading easier or more difficult - that we could discuss for days.
