Dear syndicate,

This is an ugly bug; The right kerning of the the numeral '1' is really bad: The latin-modern-os typescript uses the widths of the table figures with the oldstyle shapes, because latin modern does not ship with correct metrics for oldstyle digits.

So it's an lm bug then. Any possibility of getting it fixed, or sending the maintainers an urgent note (might be more effective coming from you or Hans)?

If you want these metrics, it makes sense to drop them a note. But no way are they going to create new metrics for you before next Thursday, so we had better come up with something else. I can create a bunch of metrics for you, but I do not have time to create hundreds of these by hand, so tell me: are you using 'modern-base, texnansi' in your actual project as well? Taco
