Hi Roger, Rogier F. van Vlissingen schrieb: Does anyone know if there are any 'standard' fonts that offer old style numbers What is a 'standard' font for you? And 'old style number' = (German) 'Mediävalziffer' ? If yes, you can get some in the fonts 'Linux Libertine G' and in 'Myriad Pro' in the 'Private Use Area' and in fonts 'Georgia' and 'Lucida Calligraphy' at common code point.

Re: [libreoffice-users] any standard fonts offering old style numbers???
Hi :) Times New Roman? Possibly like this, if this works. I have CC'd Tim and the OP jic it doesn't 1 2 3 one of the problems with Times New Roman for numbers is that figures don't line-up neatly underneath each other all the time. So, it can be a bit annoying in accountancy. I used to have my text in Times New Roman and then the numbers in something like Arial or something.
