djb:
One well-known example is the standard TeX OML encoding, which includes
lowercase gamma and uppercase Gamma, and lowercase b and uppercase B,
and lowercase beta, but not a separate uppercase Beta. Why? Because
uppercase Beta and uppercase B have the same glyph.
I seem to remember that the Euler font, especially made for TeX,
does has a seperate upper and lower case Beta. For every example,
one can always bring up a counter example.
