This is not a promise that I will finish this, but all the characters I could identify that had a Capital glyph to Match the Lowercase glyph have been replaced with the Capital glyph.
I'm also adding language support into the 3 Roboto fonts, so would have Roboto-Bold Caps - Roboto Bold - Roboto Regular with more languages support.
The reason why I did this is three fold
1- There is no all caps Roboto font available for Main Menu (there is now ),
2- Because the font currently in use is now 35 pixel and wider than vs 40 Roboto it looks squashed so I decided to edit the font to see the result and its quite good in English and French Dutch, Cyrillic, Greek etc.
3 -Hebrew, Japanese, Chinese etc doesnt exist in These fonts, It would be nice it did.
@ronie tried the first edits of Caps Font and they were a shameful fail, but now its looking fantastic now imo.
The Original font on Main Menu was Roboto-Bold now its DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold-Caps
Anyway because these fonts are available in Apache license 2.0 I guess its ok to make modifications as I understand, if this is not ok, please let me know..
Package contains the Roboto-Bold (source), the licence and notice and the modified Roboto-Bold-Caps.

To make this font more international and better glyph (character) support missing characters would be fanstastic, atm theres no Chinese/Japanese characters and idk how to add or speak/write these languages. So far I only edited a font a few times and idk how to add more characters or suppport, so if you can help great!.
Find a font Editor, I used FontCreator http://www.high-logic.com/ load the font make necessary changes, zip it up publish the file and paste link here...
