Hi, Sorry that I can not follow conversations to perfection, my native language is Spanish. I tested version 1.4 Scribus and still can not come up with a way to put these stylistic alternates, which I think is very useful when designing. The lower case numbers, also called old-style figures, are practical when applying a particular style to any graphic design work, but more importantly, when to apply numbering in a non intrusive in a text where are purely letters. A few years ago i was using proprietary software-InDesign-for my editorial work, but since then, I focus on free software as the main tools for production. I remember in InDesign-without any intention of making stupid comparisons- placing such lower case numbers and stylistic alternatives (for example, some fonts bring the number zero with a slash across it from side to side, and some other variants) were as simple as selecting it in the paragraph style editor. I read the mails without finding any solution and I wonder why this feature is apparently not supported in Scribus. Another question regarding the handling of typography is the use of small capitals. If I choose small capitals from the menu, are they the true small capital lettersor only the capitals in a lower size? Thank you very much to all and hope not to disturb Gabriel
