    HI,

    I have a job that uses the font Corbel but the client doesn’t like the style of the numbers (the kind where some of the numbers are below the baseline) so they have been using Franklin Gothic for just the numbers (which is a pain since they don’t exactly match in weight and height).

    I noticed Corbel has five choices for the each number in the glyphs palette and one works great.

    Can I get Indesign to automatically chose a specific glyph so I don’t I don’t have to hunt and peck or find and replace?

    Thanks for any tips,
    Cindy in Indy

    You could try it in the “findandchangebyList” script. Just enter the glyghs you want to replace, and run the script.
    I’ve no time to test it, but I think it will work after some “try and error” issues.

    Well, two of those are superior and inferior numbers — I sure hope it’s not one of these that “work great” :)

    The other three are identified (just hold the mouse still on one of the numbers) as “Tabular Figures (tnum) + Lining Figures (lnum)”, “Tabular Figures (tnum)”, and “Lining Figures (lnum)”. That means you can access the different styles as OpenType Features.

    In your Paragraph Style Options, go to the OpenType Features tab. The bottom of that dialog contains “Figure Style” — use the drop down list to select the particular style you want.
