With the caption-package I'm declaring the style of my table- and figure-captions:
\RequirePackage[singlelinecheck=false,
listof=true,
tableposition=top]{caption}%
\DeclareCaptionFont{dgcapfont}{\small\sffamily\raggedright}
\DeclareCaptionFont{dgclbfont}{\bfseries}
\captionsetup[table]{labelsep=colon,
labelfont=dgclbfont,
font=dgcapfont,
position=top,
skip=8\p@}%
\captionsetup[figure]{labelsep=colon,
labelfont=dgclbfont,
font=dgcapfont,
skip=4mm}%
But these declarements do not affect the captions within a hvfloat table or figure. Any ideas what to do?
