The stealcaps package
This package enables you to borrow small capitals from another font than the main document font. For that simply load the package and specify the replacement font vie the key-value-option 'from', i.e.
\usepackage[from=<font name>]{stealcaps}.
In case you use pdfLaTeX the font name has to be NFSS compliant. With XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, correpsondingly, it has to be fontspec compliant.
Furthermore in Xe(La)TeX or Lua(La)TeX you can use \renewcaps{<font name>} to load a dedicated only small capitals font like
\renewcaps{Cormorant SC}.
Package dependencies: pgfopts, iftex, fontspec.
This is version 1.1 of the package.

stealcaps – “Steal” small capitals
This little package is mainly meant to be used when there is a (TrueType or OpenType) font that does not provide real small capitals. As a workaround, this package helps to borrow, or “steal”, the small capitals from another font. This might also be useful in the rare case that someone does not like the present small capitals, and wants to change them, or likes those from another font better.
To achieve the borrowing, one only needs to load the package and specify the name of the target font via the from option.
Package dependencies: pgfopts, iftex, fontspec.
