Changing default \citet font in biblatex
I guess you're also using \usepackage[french]{babel}
? The French module in biblatex
(french.lbx
) formats last names in small capitals by providing this "local" definition of the \mkbibnamelast
command:
\protected\def\mkbibnamelast#1{\textsc{\textnohyphenation{#1}}}
To restore this command to its "global" definition add the following to your preamble:
\DefineBibliographyExtras{french}{\restorecommand\mkbibnamelast}
In biblatex.def
the global definition is:
\newcommand*{\mkbibnamelast}[1]{#1}
You can redefine this via \renewcommand*
. The code in \DefineBibliographyExtras
is hooked into citation commands and bibliography drivers. So the French definition will simply be restored to the "current" global definition.
Update (with babel-french
v. 3.2a 2016-03-18)
The command \DefineBibliographyExtras{french}{\restorecommand\mkbibnamelast}
no longer works.
To disable small caps in names in french language, add in the preamble the following command:
\DefineBibliographyExtras{french}{\restorecommand\mkbibnamefamily}
