Some time ago Karsten Heymann offered the advice below (about oldstyle
figures, but not about footnotes).
Bruce
use
\usepackage{mathpazo}
(or even better \usepackage[sc]{mathpazo} if your latex is new enough)
for better math support (and better \textsc output).
See

and
http://dante.ctan.org/CTAN/macros/latex/required/psnfss/psnfss2e.pdf
for hints and reasons.

C'mon, somebody has to know, right?

Can anyone tell me how to use oldstyle figures in my body text (i.e.,
text figures or the "j" version of the fonts)
and lining figures for my footnotes (the "x" version of the font)?
I prefer the appearance of osf, but in the footnotes I must use a
more scientific look.
(I've asked this question about six weeks ago, but no one knew at the
time).
Many thanks,
