oldstyle numbers

oldstyle numbers

Hi,

I’m new to ConTeXt and try to compile a document using XeTeX. Loading an
otf font works fine, but I don’t get it to use oldstyle numbers. google
and contextgarden did give me some hints, but I didn’t get it working. I
tried:

\starttext
\definetypeface[normalfont][rm][Xserif][Arno Pro]
\stoptext

and several versions of things like [features=oldstyle], [onum=true],
\definefontfeature[mine] with oldstyle etc. but nothing worked.

So what am I doing wrong? Is there a simple way for oldstyle numbers? (I
want them in the whole document, so I prefer a simple, global solution.)

cheers,
Arno

\definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes]

% when this did not work (because your context is too old) use:
% \definefontfeature[default] 
[liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes,onum=yes]

\definetypeface[mainface][rm][Xserif][Arno Pro]

\setupodyfont[mainface]

\starttext
0123456789
\stoptext

Thank you very much, that works fine!
Just for future questions: Where could I have found this? (I prefer
reading documentation than wasting people’s time by asking …)

cheers,
Arno
