I use oldstyle digits with a typescript using variants such as "\Var[osf]" to get oldstyle digits. How do I get _all_ digits, including the page number in oldstyle?
\setuppagenumbering[style={\Var[osf]}] would be a solution, but it looks more like a hack - I'd like to have a complete setup.
This is my typescript:
this was answered only a few days ago in the thread ,,automatic oldstyle numerals``
I guess you refer to the thread started from Alan? (I am currently offline.) My post is actually an attempt to use a slightly different approach, so I am perfectly aware of that thread.
My point is, there should be a way to say 'before processing this document, switch to osf with \Var[osf] or something equivalent'. I don't want to deal with typescripts just for that. I have created a typescript already that includes oldstyle figures. IMO it should be possible to say \Var[<something>] for the whole document.

The only method I know is the one I show in my former message with the termes-os typescipts. It would be nice to have something built-in to choose small caps, old style and tabular figures with \setupbodyfont and \switchtobodyfont like you can do with sans, mono ... fonts. For example: \setupbodyfont[fontname] for lining figures \setupbodyfont[fontname,os] for oldstyle figures ... Wolfgang
