I think the best method would be to use character classes: Choose the new font when moving from any character to a digit and return to the original font when moving from a digit to any other character. But I don't know how to do this properly, somebody will chime in soon...<br>

Hello - is there a way to use a different font just for numbers, in a<br>
non-math text? I searched the archives, but I cannot find anything....<br>
<br>
<br>
Motivation: I am trying to write in Greek, using the "Times Ten Greek"<br>
font, which does not contain oldstyle numbers. These come with the<br>
"Times 10 Roman Small Caps and Oldstyle Figures", which does not<br>
support Greek. Is there a way to "borrow" the number glyphs from the<br>
latter [i.e., something like the SmallCapsFont={...} feature in<br>
fontspec]? Unfortunately, non-english speakers face similar problems<br>
often - they suddenly realize that small caps are absent from certain<br>
scripts, usually after the purchase....<br>
