Old-style numerals

Old-style numerals

[Nikolai Weibull]

To get old-style numerals as the default, the accepted solutions seems
to be the following:

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

\setupbodyfont[modern]

However, this causes old-style numbers to be used for \type as well,
which looks weird.  Is there a way to override the switching to
old-style numerals for the fixed-width typeface?

Example:

\usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding]
\usetypescript [map] [latin-modern-os] [\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[modern]
\starttext
1 2 3 \type{1 2 3}
\stoptext

Thanks,
        nikolai

Variants on variants, here...

That makes sense, typographically. All I did was hack a few lines in the
texnansi-os-public-lm.map file so that the tt fonts used the original
encoding. UNzip and rehash with the attached file, and test it with this:

\usetypescript [modern][texnansi]
\loadmapfile[texnansi-oslftt-public-lm]
\setupbodyfont[modern]
\starttext
1 2 3 \type{1 2 3}
\stoptext
 
...adapting it to the typescript[map] idiom and to other encodings is
left as an exercise for the reader. :)
