Better equipped opentype fonts offer so called superior numbers as an
opentype feature. Those are special smaller figures for “superscript”
(opentype feature “sups”) that are not simply scaled down versions of
the normal figures (be they oldstyle or lining) you are normally using.
Scaling down is as far as I understood the default way context is using
to generate the numbers for footnotes. Is there a way to define the use
of unscaled superiors according to the fontsizes of body text and
footnote text instead?
Greetings Jörg
PS: I am using for serif the “Linux Libertine O” family (installed as
OTF and invoked by the included mkiv simplefont mechanism) which has the
“sups” feature.
