OpenType features (e.g. small caps) not consistently applied
In Pages '08, I'd like to use some features of an OpenType font, Minion Pro. In the Typography panel under the font selection dialog, I can enable small caps, or small caps for capitals, text figures, etc.
However, these styles are not consistently applied. For example, if try to make an entire paragraph small caps, or if I set a paragraph style to small caps, the text remains normal. If I set some of the text within that paragraph to the "default", then everything works as expected. Sometimes I just have to play with the check boxes until something works, because sometimes just toggling a check box twice makes the whole style work. This is extremely frustrating if one would like to set a section heading in small caps, or to apply text figures to an entire body paragraph. It just doesn't work.
TextEdit works like a dream. Can anybody explain what is going on here, and if it can be fixed? I'm fed up with waiting for an update from Apple.
And I'm not crazy, right?
