Ok. However please note that both the w3c (in CSS) and Microsoft (in its
whitepaper to new fonts authors) only define weight, width or slant as
selection axis for font faces within a font family. So if the font files were
created today, small caps would be a different font family.

xetex uses fontconfig IIRC
