i appreciate your effort...
but i just don't know what you're talking about. :)
did you try "\oldstylenums{1}" and the above lines were written to the
console?

to make this clear: only the oldstyle numbers are still bitmaps (or so it
seems - they look jagged in pdf). rest is ok (thanx again).

uh... :)
i just get pixelated oldstyle numbers...
they're not bold or anything.
dunno about the sizes, sorry. i use

    \documentclass[11pt,a4paper,oneside]{book}
    \usepackage[BCOR1cm]{typearea}

see, i'm completely new to this tex-thing, and so i created a tex-template
which includes several commented settings and code-snippets which i might
want to use at some point in my documents.
one of these snippets is "oldstylenums". it's just one line to see how they
look.

do you get antialiased oldstyle numbers in pdf?

nah, i don't fink. ;)

i don't get this one. what should i try?

    \usepackage{textcomp}
    \usepackage{tcrm}

???
what's "textcomp" supposed to do?

yeah.

hm, is it possible to have ALL numbers appear as oldstyle numbers (headers,
footers, pagenumbers included)? sort of like switching the behaviour (thus
only having to specify when "normal" numbers should be used)...
