oldstylenums - decimals look like triangles

Post by serg.kr »

Hello,

Are decimal points in oldstylenums supposed to look like triangles?

If I typeset the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{report}

\begin{document}

\oldstylenums{4.7}

\end{document}
The result looks like the image I'm attaching. Is that normal? Is there something missing in my installation? How can I get old-style numerals, but regular decimals?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

oldstylenums are aimed at digits. With decimal points it will work after loading textcomp:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{textcomp}
