No. This is intentional, since previously you could mix up digit 4 with digit 1. BTW, I disagree with the deciphering issue :-) Note also that the smaller the font size, the smaller the difference between the two types of digit four become. > and how can I access the previously used font? The glyph you are searching for is called 'fattened.fixedwidth.four', to be activated with font features (see the documentation of the `\number` markup for some explanation). Here is an example to change this globally. ``` #(set-global-staff-size 26) \score { << \new Voice { d'4 d'4 } \new FiguredBass \figures { <4> <4\+> } >> } \layout { \context { \FiguredBass figuredBassPlusDirection = #RIGHT \override BassFigure.font-features = #'("tnum" "ss01") } } ``` The only drawback is that the 'fourplus' glyph always have the short stem.
