Hi guys,
Why doesn't this definition use the old style numerals that come with the font? It seems to use the latin modern font when I try to use \os. Small caps are working fine.
I'd like all the numbers in the document to be typeset in old style numerals unless I tell it otherwise, btw how do I achieve the latter?
I didn't tell you that: \definefontfeature [default] [script=latn,language=dflt,liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,onum=yes] (the important setting is only "onum=yes") The problem is that that's only a dirty trick that is not supposed to work and might stop working in the future, so I would rather try not to rely on it. A better interface for XeTeX typescripts (something similar to fontspec) is missing heavily. ------------ Concerning your first problem: I have tried patching Xsans definitions with \definefontfeature [oldstyle] [script=latn,language=dflt,liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,onum=yes] \starttypescript[Xserif][all][name] \definefontsynonym [DummyOldStyle] [name:\typescripttwo] [features=oldstyle] %\definefontsynonym [DummyOldStyle] [name:'\typescripttwo'] [features=oldstyle] \definefontsynonym [OldStyle] [DummyOldStyle] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][Warnock Pro] \setupbodyfont[myface, 11pt] \starttext {\os 123456789} \stoptext but I have no idea why it fails. kpathsea: Invalid fontname `name:Warnock', contains ':' !
