Choose a number style in OpenType fonts
- To
change the style of existing numbers, select the characters or type
objects you want to change. If you don’t select any text, the setting
applies to new text you create.
- Make
sure that an OpenType font is selected.
- In
the OpenType panel, choose an option from the Figures pop‑up menu:
- Default Figure
- Uses
the default style for the current font.
- Tabular
Lining
- Uses
full-height figures all of the same width (if available for the current
font). This option is appropriate in situations where numbers need
to line up from one line to the next, as in tables.
- Proportional
Lining
- Uses
full-height figures with varying widths (if available for the current
font). This option is recommended for text that uses all caps.
- Proportional
Oldstyle
- Uses
varying-height figures with varying widths (if available for the
current font). This option is recommended for a classic, sophisticated
look in text that doesn’t use all caps.
- Tabular
Oldstyle
- Uses
varying-height figures with fixed, equal widths (if available for
the current font). This option is recommended when you want the classic
appearance of old-style figures, but need them to align in columns,
as in an annual report.
