Hi all,

is there a way to set up oldstyle figures as the default? I have found some stuff searching the archive, but it doesn't really help me to get along.

================================================================= \starttext

\usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript [map] [latin-modern-os] [\defaultencoding]

\setupbodyfont[modern] test 1234 test

\stoptext =================================================================

And I'm working on a ConTeXt magazine where I show how to do this.

Thanks Idris, it works (if you put the \usetypscript commands before \starttext). Here comes the followup question: How to make it work with the \digits command? \digits{1234567890} gives ordinary figures. I guess this is because of an implicit switch to math mode. So, how to tell \digits to use oldstyle figures, and/or how to make them the math mode default? -- Eckhart
