I only briefly tested save fonts on Windows, but all seem to have a small-caps variant. Depending on your target platform that might be not what you want. But at least Mac browsers either should have these exact same fonts too (with Microsoft font pack that installs with Mac IE) or I strongly suspect Mac OS own fonts have this font-variant as well (just by being Mac fonts ;). All the following (MS) fonts have a small caps variant: Arial (Mac: Helvetica?) Verdana (Mac: Lucida grande?) Times New Roman Georgia Courier I guess the XSL you presented does not make a great difference in your environment (speed of transformation?), but at least it blows up the size of the HTML. > So, no, that's not what I sought, but thank you for suggesting it. > anytime, sorry to have been no real help chris
