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?
