Yes ... it works! Not only for the final e, but also for final n, m, t, 
etc... as well as the *word* initial w which occurs *after* punctuation 
(like a comma). Curious.

And thanks to Will R. as well, although I gave up on that 'solution' 
about 2 years ago! Nevertheless, it seems that with this version of 
Hoefler that we have here, the lining numbers will have to be added with 
GIDs. Also, the option Alex gave [Fractions=On] only gave me another 
warning that it's not available. I don't see fraction glyphs for this 
font ... unless they're constructed in some way. But that's no crisis, 
at least for me, since typesetting math isn't my bag.

Thanks to all.
