I think it must have been but I only discovered
it this week. I bought the VRPC so as to back
up material and have an immediate replacement
if other machine(s) fail.

Probably laziness! 
I have just tried using styles and defining
Italic / SmallCaps / Italic Small Caps
and, of course, it works OK.
I also tried using the OVPro produced
small caps - and they are different from
the purpose built ones! (smaller).
In fact I seldom use small caps anyway.

I had wondered whether it might be possible
to rename one or more faces of this one
font so that OvPro chose the`correct face
when I press the Italics button.

But, I have just thought that I can get over
all the problems by defining a different font
(with serifs) as the "start-up" font in OvPro.

Anyway, thank you for your advice.
