No, but I use old-style numerals as default

Out of curiosity, are the old-style numerals from CM (cmmi*, I presume) in any shapes other than roman? I had the impression there were no real italic or bold variants, but I could be wrong (and would love to know where to find them, in that case!).

There is a bold version for the 10pt case only (cmmib10), and I created a font switch \ob to use old-style bold at any bold size when necessary (no optcal scaling). \bf still switches to the optically-scaled bold, while \ob uses cmmib10's numerals:


\definestyle [oldstylebold] [\ob] []

:

\definefontsynonym [OldStyleSerif-Bold]         [cmrosb10]
%cmrosb10 is a virtual font that calls the numerals from
%cmmib10

:

\definefontsynonym [SerifBold]             [OldStyleSerif-Bold]

:

\definebodyfont
  [20.7pt,17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt,4pt]
  [rm]
  [ob=SerifBold sa 1,
   bi=SerifBoldItalic sa 1,
   bs=SerifBoldSlanted sa 1,
   sc=SerifCaps sa 1]
