Font for enumeration

Font for enumeration

[Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren]

consider the following setup:

\startitemize[m]
\item this
\item that
\item the other
\stopitemize

this should give enumeration using oldstyle numbers.  now, I have  
created my own typescript file that sets everything to Sabon, except  
the oldstyle numbers in question, which are set using computer  
modern's oldstyle numbers.  what do I do to get the base font here?   
I have set up my typescript file so that {\Var[osf] 123} are set  
using the base fonts oldstyle numbers.

Untested, but should work:

   \def\varosfnumbers#1{{\Var[osf] #1}}

   \defineconversion[varosf][\varosfnumbers]

   \startitemize[varosf]
   \item this
   \item that
   \item the other
   \stopitemize

Best, Taco

Can you try

   \unexpanded\def\varosfnumbers#1{{\Var[osf] #1}}

instead? (testing is hard for me because I do not have your font setup)

Best,

Hi Rolf,

Here I tested two situations and they work, though with a small adaptation:

I bought once the Lino-Type Palatino, which includes also oldstyle 
figures in one of the fonts. This font-collection works correctly also 
with Taco's definition

\def\varosfnumbers#1{{\Var[osf] #1}}

On the otherhand the LM-fonts did not reveal the required result, ending 
with a message concerning a non loadable tfm ...
Yet it works with the following adaptation of Taco's macro:

\usetypescript[modern][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[modern,rm,12pt]

\def\varosfnumbers#1{{\os #1}}
\defineconversion[varosf][\varosfnumbers]

\starttext
\startitemize[varosf]
\item this
\item that
\item the other
\stopitemize
\stoptext

Kind regards

Willi
