Using Arial or Helvetica font, I can set text to have both Weight=Bold and SmallCaps attributes. It prints as bold, but doesn't appear bold on screen. The character spacing onscreen changes - the letters are closer together - but it doesn't stand out at all. Non SmallCaps text works fine. If I zoom in to 120%, the bold becomes visible. 



In Microsoft Word, Bold SmallCaps text appears clearly bold. 

Any suggestions on how to make this visible at 100%?
