Hi,
if I understand correctly, that way the output still shows the letters
or the deprecated unicode codepoints. It should be analog to medieval /
lowercase numbers. E.g. it's still the number 123 it only uses different
glyphs. So when I copypaste it, it shows the number 123 and not cxxiii.
This could be a very complex procedure, if applied to arbitrary numbers,
but most times it can be reduced to low numbers.
Another idea:
the macro \roman{counter} does the complicated part of the job. Could
one use the result of that macro (letters) and transform them to the
desired output?
bye

Hi,
you totally misunderstood my intentions. I don't want to use
neither Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, … (u2160-u217f) nor I, II, III, IV, … (letters). I want
to use
something along "Henri {\fontchangingcommand 4} was a foobar king."
Is \fontspec capable of doing this?
Of course not, or maybe yes, but limited to numbers from 1 up to 12,
via a proper mapping file. However, with the macros I gave you before,
you can define
\makeatletter
\newcommand\ordinal[1]{\@UniRoman{#1}}
\makeatother
and write "Henri~\ordinal{4}". The tilde is for avoiding a line break. This will
use the character corresponding to the number, if in the range 1–12, otherwise
the number will be constructed from the Roman numerals.
Ciao
Enrico
