Old numerals option for Open Type fonts

Suggestions Document editor

Dear all,
many word processors can optionally display old sytle numerals (aka lowercase numerals) in fonts that have both gliph sets.
I suggest this feature to increase elegance in long text with groups of digits.

Hello @luca

Can you share a link to documentation of any processor that is capable of such action for the reference?

Hello @Constantine,
thank you for your attention.
You will find here attached a screenshot where you can see settings for both Apple Pages and Microsoft Word.
Sorry, they are in Italian. Pages: Typography Option “Numeri minuscoli” = Lowercase numbers. Word: Advanced font settings “Formato dei numeri” = Number format

The same setting in LibreOffice is a little bit more complex: "old style figures" - English - Ask LibreOffice
Should you need more information or screenshot translation, do not hesitate and ask.
I appreciate your job. Onlyoffice is handy and effective.
Kind regards
Luca
