It depends what do you want to achieve, local changes can be done with
\os, but this will use numbers from the math font.
That's exactly why \os is almost useless (it messes up itemizations and
other stuff); better to \switchtotypeface, even for local changes.
option two is to write
\setfontfeature{oldstyle} in the preamble of your document and ConTeXt
use oldstyle numbers by default if present in the current font.
You also have to define oldstyle :-)
No, you don't have to, because oldstyle is predefined in type-ini.tex,
two other predefined fontfeatures are default and smallcaps :-)

% engine=luatex
\definefontfeature
[oldstyle]
[mode=node,language=dflt,script=latn,onum=yes,tnum=yes]
\setfontfeature{oldstyle}
\starttext
1234567890
\stoptext

There is currently no better way to enable oldstyle number for the
whole document except you define your own typescripts and use them.
I spent hours today writing and debugging a huge typescript for lm (all
those optical sizes, since i could not for the life of me get it to
piggy-back the def's in type-siz). I just got it working flawlessly a few
minutes ago -- sublime, a work of art even -- then I get your message
which would have saved me hours of work! I just needed that one command!!!
You're an angel, just wish I got this this morning ;-)
Best wishes

PS Note that tnum (tabular version) looks better than onum alone, but is a
function of onum in the font so cannot be invoked unless onum is invoked
first.
\definefontfeature[onum][onum=yes]
\definefontfeature[lnum][lnum=yes]
\definefontfeature[tnum][tnum=yes,onum=yes]
\definefontfeature[pnum][pnum=yes]
\starttext
\setfontfeature{onum}123456789\par
\setfontfeature{lnum}123456789\par
\setfontfeature{tnum}123456789\par
\setfontfeature{pnum}123456789\par
\stoptext

Hmm, I assumed the order would be [onum=yes,tnum=yes], or does the order
not matter?

Mark IV has a new the new option fontfeatures and you can use this
to get the oldstyle numbers from the latin modern OT fonts. Option one
is to redefine \os to use the numbers from the main font, you have to
put the following command in your document,
\def\os{\setfontfeature{oldstyle}}, option two is to write
\setfontfeature{oldstyle} in the preamble of your document and ConTeXt
use oldstyle numbers by default if present in the current font.
There is currently no better way to enable oldstyle number for the

Thnx in advance!
