Hi all,
Trying to select "slashed zero" and "lining figures" from a font. For Lucida Bright OT, as another example, +scmp works, but not for Charter ITC Pro. But the font that concerns me the most right now, is TheSansMono Condensed...
Font URL: http://www.lucasfonts.com/fonts/thesansmono/thesansmono-condensed/features/
PDF Info: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6613992/TheSansMonoCd-info.pdf

sometimes you need to select a script/language combination too or when digits are concerned disable oldstyle
I'm too inexperienced to know what that means, or how to apply that.
there is some info in font manuals and the context wiki
I've opened the font in FontForge, and can see the glyphs I'm looking for, but again, it does not carry much applicable meaning for me. For example, can I use this information?:
Slash 0, Lining Figures: (0x10120) U+0030 "zero.lf.slashed" DIGIT ZERO 1, Lining Figures: (0x10121) U+0031 "one.lf" DIGIT ONE ... Slash 0, "Basic": (0x1012b) U+0030 "zero.basic.slashed" DIGIT ZERO 1, "Basic": (0x1012c) U+0031 "one.basic" DIGIT ONE ...
so you need to select the lnum feature too
Was this not it?: ... \font\kwr = name:thesansmonocdw5regular:+lnum;+zero at \fntcodesz ... But thanks; will keep on reading; if solution found, will add it here. Regards, Aíre
Solution: \font\tt = name:thesansmonocdw5regular:script=latn;+lnum;+zero} at 12pt Thank you!
Spoke too soon. The "zero.slashed" is selected, instead of "zero.lf.slashed", so that the zero is smaller than the rest of the lining figure numbers. In desperation, tried luatex with 'luaotfload.sty' under TeXLive2013, and it worked fine. `;color=XXXXXX` also works with `luaotfload`, but not with LuaTeX-plain from ConTeXt. Any ideas would be welcome. Exhausted Google query permutations and most font info if for LaTeX, pdfTeX, pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX or ConTeXt. Can I maybe as a hack switch the glyphs, or something? Thanks again & regards, Aíre.
