In traditional typsetting, some fonts have separate sizes and widths for different purposes -- not quite upper and lower case, but sorted similarly (yes, many years ago I hand-set display type in a print shop). Accessing these additional numerical characters in computerdom means using a separate font version (the one that usually also includes a set of ligatures, swashes, etc.). It's very pretty; one of the folks on this list has some gorgeous examples. I think we had this discussion a few months ago.
