[XeTeX] Beginner's question - font for numbers

[Andrew Moschou]

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...
