Hmm, placed this in the preamble, stilll getting the same bad  
hyphenation...

Does it need to go into a context/base file + reformat? if so which one?

I just downloaded the beta: lm-texnansi-os.enc still has the wrong  
oldstyle numerals: should be

/zero.taboldstyle
/one.taboldstyle
/two.taboldstyle
/three.taboldstyle
/four.taboldstyle
/five.taboldstyle
/six.taboldstyle
/seven.taboldstyle
/eight.taboldstyle
/nine.taboldstyle

The lm people have apparently switched across the board; some fonts still  
support the .oldstyle suffixes in addition to .taboldstyle but others  
(like lmtt) only support .taboldstyle. So the latter should be the default.

I should add that the tfm's for .oldstyle are wrong, even for lmr. So  
there .oldstyle is really not supported anymore. Hence...
