As far as I know, not directly. For me, it seems like this is more a feature of your processing chain or target format than a task for DocBook. :) However, if you really want to distinguish between normal figures and text (or old-style) figures you could use phrase, for example: <phrase role="oldstyle">12345</phrase> Your XSLT customization layer must match for phrase with a role attribute and select for each number the alternative glyph. You need to know the Unicode codepoint of your old-style figures, so you can map the normal figures to the new ones. I'm not 100% sure if these codepoints are available in Unicode. Of course, the font has to support these figures. :) Well, at least that's the theory, maybe there are other alternatives.
