Is this even possible? On emacsw32 when I yank in Small Caps'd text from the clibboard I'm getting the text, but without the caps properties. Other w32 clients are correctly `interpreting' the SmallCaps text and I'm unable to achieve reasonable translation on emacs-w32. I will check later this evening on a gnu/linux build if X clients perform similarly. While the case can be made that Small Caps are a typographical convention the char translation I am currently getting is "FAUX STRING OF SMALL CAPS" => "faux string of small caps" I would expect a translation to: "Faux String Of Small Caps" or even; "FAUX STRING OF SMALL CAPS" i.e. something akin to `capitalize-region's or `upcase-region's behaviour where Emacs can't reasonably interpolate the Small Caps strings from the Clipboard contents. Out of the box it doesn't appear that UTF-8 can even accommodate this behavior in a reasonable way for the Latin scripts , i.e. block U+1D00 - U+1D7F (Phonetic Extensions) provides _some_ Small Caps encodings for 14 Latin Letters... WTF? Obv. this isn't an Emacs problem per se but... s_P
