If you are using pdfTeX, you have to switch to an encoding that uses oldstyle numerals. This is because the knuthian font with oldstyle is a special, not general purpose, font, and has triangles where the period would be etc. You have to activate oldstyle globally for any but the most narrow purposes. Something like the following \usetypescript[modern-base][texnansi] % a simplified latin-modern typescript \usetypescript [map] [latin-modern-os] [texnansi] \setupbodyfont[reset] \setupbodyfont[modern,11pt] used to work in mkii (pdftex + context) but I don't know if it still does -- mkii support for oldstyle has not been a stable feature (due to the changes from cm to lm): I had to recalibrate every couple of years or so. So try and see. If you use luatex then there are a couple of ways to activate it -- see this thread http://archive.contextgarden.net/thread/20080102.025610.93a30bce.en.html#20080102.025610.93a30bce http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080102.025610.93a30bce.en.html ========================================== % engine=luatex \definefontfeature [oldstyle] [mode=node,language=dflt,script=latn,onum=yes,tnum=yes] \setfontfeature{oldstyle} \starttext 1234567890 \stoptext ========================================== Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
