Re: XeTeX old style numerals

[Mohamed Bana <m.bana.lists@gmail.com>]

So ... can someone provide a sample file of a document that uses old 
style by default?

Clearly the following doesn't work;

\definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][Minion Pro]
% i've also tried
%\definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][Warnock Pro]
\definetypeface[myface][ss][Xsans][Myriad Pro]
\definetypeface[myface][tt][Xmono][Consolas]
\setupbodyfont[myface, 11pt]

Thanks
