It shows.</h2></div> <p>Set a word in them and it comes apart. The menu on this site sets anything that opens in small capitals. Ask a browser for that and you write:</p> <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-css" data-lang="css"><span class="line"><span class="cl"><span class="nt">font-variant-caps</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="nt">small-caps</span><span class="o">;</span> </span></span></code></pre></div><p>If the font has small-capital glyphs, you get them. If it does not, the browser makes some by shrinking the capitals, and that is where it goes wrong.</p>
