Is [features=default] the place where we can access OpenType features? Let's say I have an OpenType font with several number styles (regular, proportional, etc.). Is it possible to use them? I've always wanted to ask this and be sure. Now seems the good time. :-)
You can define your own features sets with \definefontfeature and use this set later with "features=my feature set", "default" is only one of ConTeXt's predefined feature sets but you define your own with every option you need.
Thank you VERY much Mojca and Wolfgang! With XeTeX now I can use the oldstyle numerals with my system-installed OpenType fonts. :-) I'm very, very happy with that. I really thought I had to wait for LuaTeX for that. Now, to push the features topic further on, before experimenting a bit I'd like to ask... does XeTeX support *all* OTF features? Well, I don't want to use all of them, but some more included with my font, and while I'm pretty sure it supports 'pnum', as it supports 'onum', I would also use the built-in superscript ('sups') and subscript ('subs') numerals. Thanks again! Jeff
