Hi Denis,

you can’t have them all.

It might be related to the loopup order in the font itself. onum or pnum
precedence might require onum/pnum sups.

I think this makes no difference at all.

sups=yes is the only way to invoke a font feature (such as it is defined
in the font itself [this is an OpenType tag]).

VerticalPosition and your values might be valid in fontspec. But ConTeXt
doesn’t go that way.

Just in case it helps,

Pablo
