Bruno, is it not available because Warnock Pro is an OpenType font?
Atip, I posted a link to fd files for a number of Adobe OpenType fonts
including Adobe Garamond Pro and Warnock Pro. In case you missed it
they are at
http://jbreitenbuch.wooster.edu/~jonb/AdobeTypeClassicsplus.zip and
I'll probably update them soon. If you have OpenType fonts and want to
find out what features they have enter the following in the Terminal
otfinfo -f WarnockPro-Regular.otf
(This assumes that you installed Eddie Kohler's font tools using
i-Installer.)
For your immediate question of small caps in Warnock Pro the
declaration should be
\DeclareFontShape{U}{owp}{m}{sc}{
<-> "Warnock\space Pro:+onum, +smcp"
}{}
and if you have the optical variants use
\DeclareFontShape{U}{owp}{m}{sc}{
<-8.9> "Warnock\space Pro\space Caption:+onum, +smcp"
<9.0-12.9> "Warnock\space Pro:+onum, +smcp"
<13.0-24.9> "Warnock\space Pro\space Subhead:+onum, +smcp"
<25.0-> "Warnock\space Pro\space Display:+lnum, +smcp"
}{}
In the above I named the font owp for OpenType Warnock Pro, which is
not the Berry scheme but I'm not sure how to name it in the Berry
Scheme.
