there are several definitions:
\def\os {\mathortext{\fam\purefamily {oldstyle}}{\symbolicfont
{OldStyle}}}
\definefontsynonym [OldStyle] [Serif]
and in the cmr synonyms OldStyle comes from a math font
when i need oldstyles, i just define an oldstyle typeface, eg with optima nova
(type-ghz.tex):
\starttypescript [sans] [optima-nova-os] [name]
\definefontsynonym [Sans] [OptimaNovaLT-RegularOsF]
\definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [OptimaNovaLT-ItalicOsF]
\definefontsynonym [SansBold] [OptimaNovaLT-BoldOsF]
\definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [OptimaNovaLT-BoldItalicOsF]
\definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [OptimaNovaLT-ItalicOsF]
\definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [OptimaNovaLT-BoldItalicOsF]
\definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [OptimaNovaLT-RegularSC]
\stoptypescript
\definetypeface[optima][ss][sans][optima-nova][default][encoding=texnansi]
\definetypeface[osoptima][ss][sans][optima-nova-os][default][encoding=texnansi]
so i do a complete switch from \optima to \osoptima when needed
