Italic shape needed in small caps fonts

Question

I am using MiKTeX 2.5 version. Is there any possibility to change the small caps fonts in italic shape?

I had tried as like below

\textit{\textsf{Small Caps}}% This will gives the Regular Small caps output.
\textsf{\textit{Small Caps}}% This will gives the italic output.

Could you please help me on this?

Answer 1

Use a combination of lmodern and slantsc to obtain slanted small caps:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lmodern}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lmodern
\usepackage{slantsc}% http://ctan.org/pkg/slantsc
\begin{document}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
  \verb!\textsc{Hello world}! & \textsc{Hello world} \\ % Regular Small Caps
  \verb!\textsl{Hello world}! & \textsl{Hello world} \\ % Regular slanted
  \verb!\textit{Hello world}! & \textit{Hello world} \\ % Regular italics
  \verb!\textit{\textsc{Hello world}}! & \textit{\textsc{Hello world}} \\ % No italic small caps exist, this is substituted for default font
  \verb!\textsl{\textsc{Hello world}}! & \textsl{\textsc{Hello world}} % Slanted small caps
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

If you're specifically after italic small caps in Times font, consider reading

The above source provides times-itsc that you could use instead of \usepackage{times} to produce italicized small caps.
