Thanks Taco.

It didn't work as expected. It outputs exclamation points.

- font: combinumerals ( http://www.fontsite.com/bonusfonts/cnfree_tt.zip )
- font encoding type: symbol
- supported unicode ranges: general punctuation

What's missing here ?

\starttypescript [sans] [combinumerals]
     \definefontsynonym [CombinumeralsRegular]    [name:combinumerals]
                    [features=default]
     \definefontsynonym [CombinumeralsBold]
[name:combinumeralsbold]                [features=default]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [sans] [combinumerals]
     \setups [font:fallback:sans]
     \definefontsynonym [sans]                    [CombinumeralsRegular]
     \definefontsynonym [sansBold]            [CombinumeralsBold]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [combinumerals]
     \definetypeface [combinumerals] [ss] [sans] [combinumerals] [default]
\stoptypescript

\usetypescript[combinumerals]
