I started to write my CV in LaTeX. My document begins as

\documentclass[a4paper]{amsart}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[finnish]{babel}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
{\large \textbf{\textsc{ANSIOLUETTELO}}}
\end{center}
\end{document}

But pdfTeX for Mac says:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010)
....
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/cmr/bx/sc' undefined
(Font)              using `OT1/cmr/bx/n' instead on input line 6.

[1{/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}]
[2] (./ansioluettelomod.aux)

What am I doing wrong?

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! You're doing nothing wrong: the font family doesn't have a small caps boldface variant. However, capital letters in small caps are just the normal ones.

  • OK. So is there some way to modify the line such that it uses normal letters, not small caps?

    in fact, you're using all caps; to get small caps (when they exist) you should use lowercase, as \textsc{ansioluettelo}. if you're happy with ordinary caps here, just remove the \textsc and you'll get regular bold caps and no warning message.

You can try 

\documentclass[a4paper]{amsart}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}   
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}   
\usepackage[finnish]{babel}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
{\large \textbf{\textsc{ANSIOLUETTELO}}}

\textbf{\textsc{Ansioluettelo}}
\end{center}
\end{document}

    Capital letters in the argument of \textsc don't produce small caps.

    Fix the problem, but that font has ugly aliasing.

You did nothing wrong. TeX tells you that it does not have Small Caps bold Computer Modern font, so it switches to bold normal font. This is a design decision by font author (Knuth) not to have this variant; you may try to find fonts that have bold small caps (not that I know of such) or to fake the effect using uppercase.

Actually your line is already in uppercase, so I wonder whether you really need small caps: usually people use small caps with lowercase letters, with \textsc{\MakeLowercase{...}}

The libertine font provides bold small caps. Abstaining from capital letters in the argument of \textsc doesn't hurt, either. ;-)

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{libertine}

\begin{document}

\Large

\textbf{\textsc{Ansioluettelo}}% right

\textbf{\textsc{ANSIOLUETTELO}}% wrong

\end{document}

  • If using debian-like distro, you should apt install texlive-fonts-extra to get this font.

If you do not want to change the fonts scheme, you can do

\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{cmr}{bx}{sc}{<-> cmbcsc10}{}

use the Kepler fonts they have bold small caps:

\documentclass[a4paper]{amsart}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{kpfonts}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[finnish]{babel}
\begin{document}

{\large \textbf{\textsc{ANSIOLUETTELO}}}

\end{document}
