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.

Thank you for your attention and kind regards.

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

 ![LowercaseNumerals1](https://community.onlyoffice.com/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d1b6fe7cec44477d9341a43e71cf928c30866fa7.jpeg)  
The same setting in LibreOffice is a little bit more complex: ["old style figures" - English - Ask LibreOffice](https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/old-style-figures/11747)  
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
