Bug#515635: lmodern: No old-style figures in LMTypewriter10.

[T <78abc@web.de>]

Hi H., hi Ralf,

I think you are right and there is no bug in the lmodern package.
Fontforge (a tool that I did not know of) shows the old-style figures
fine. It also shows that the "NUMoldstyle" glyphs were removed in
between 1.00-3 and 1.010x-5, while the "NUM.oldstyle" glyphs are there
in both versions.

So my problem has to have its origins in some other place. I doubt
that it is gucharmap, since the problem also affects openoffice and
inkscape: When I try to insert oldstyle figures into an openoffice
text via Insert -> Special Character and select the LMTypewriter10
font, oldstyle figures are not in the table of glyphs I can select
from. If I insert oldstyle figures using another font (e.g. Iwona) and
afterwards try to change the font of the inserted characters to
LMTypewriter10, the Iwona oldstyle figures are not replaced by
LMTypewriter glyphs; they stay Iwona glyphs (they become a bit smaller
though).

Similarly, if I copy some text containing oldstyle glyphs into an
inkscape document (using the Iwona font) and try to convert the font
to LMTypewriter10, the oldstyle figures are replaced by glyphs of yet
another font (could be Verdana).

With the 1.00-3 package of lmodern, the usage of oldstyle glyphs
within openoffice and inkscape is no problem.

Is there anything else I can do in order to find out where exactly the
problem is?

Thanks and best regards -- T.
