Hi H.,

it is true, the glyphs are present, I agreed on that earlier. However,
I cannot use them anywhere outside TeX. Even with Scribus, which seems
to be an almost-professional DTP Software, I cannot insert the
old-style figures with the 1.010x-5 version of the package. They
simply do not show up in the table of glyphs for LMTypewriter10
(within Scribus).

Thus I believe that there is a problem in some lower-level part of the
font system. Does anyone know how I could find out which piece of the
system is erroneous?

Thanks for your help -- T.
