Classification:Serious Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
When one opens the typographic panel to utilize the small-caps feature of many OTF fonts (Minion Pro for example), the small-caps options "Lower Case: Small Capitals" and "Upper Case: Small Capitals" have no effect.

Steps to Reproduce:
Select lower-case and uppercase text.  Choose an OTF font like Minion Pro, Calluna, Calluna Sans etc. that has small-caps glyphs, then open the typographic dialog cmd-t and select the options "Lower Case: Small Capitals" and "Upper Case: Small Capitals".  This has no effect in Pages of Keynote

Expected Results:
The font should be rendered in small-caps.

Actual Results:
The font is unchanged: either upper-case or lower-case.  Note: one can activate "small caps" from the Format->Font>Capitalization menu, but this does not use the typographic feature (it fakes the small-caps with anemic looking scaled-down capital letters).

Regression:

Notes:
This is a serious bug, and has been around for some time.  Please fix the typography - typography was my primary reason for using Pages and Keynote.
