Bug Tracker

I’m currently working on a major new version of the datatool package. This may take a while. Please be patient. (Experimental version available for testing.)

Status	Closed (Not a Bug)
Category	glossaries
Version	v4.18
Summary	Not bold smallcaps even with fonts that support them

Description

Even with fonts that support bold smallcaps:

\setacronymstyle{long-sc-short}

leads by default to bold but not in small caps entries' names. AFAIK, this breaks previous glossaries' behavior.

Note that bold smallcaps entries' names are still available if explicitly asked by:

\renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\textsc{\bfseries #1}}

\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{kpfonts}
\usepackage[xindy]{glossaries}
%
\makeglossaries
\newacronym{foo}{foo}{Foo Oof Oof}
\setacronymstyle{long-sc-short}
% \renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\textsc{\bfseries #1}}
%
\begin{document}
\textbf{\textsc{foo}}: \gls{foo}.
\printglossary
\end{document}

Evaluation

This isn't a bug. As stated in the manual (13.1 Changing the Acronym Style) you need to set the style before using \newacronym. The following works as expected:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{kpfonts}
\usepackage[xindy]{glossaries}
%
\makeglossaries
\setacronymstyle{long-sc-short}
\newacronym{foo}{foo}{Foo Oof Oof}
% \renewcommand{\glsnamefont}[1]{\textsc{\bfseries #1}}
%
\begin{document}
\textbf{\textsc{foo}}: \gls{foo}.
\printglossary
\end{document}
