fontspunctuationxetex
I have the following:
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setromanfont [Ligatures={Common}, Numbers={OldStyle}]{Palatino}
And compile with this:
xelatex main.tex
I use:
``word''
But the quotes are never curly as they should be. I can only get the curly quotes when using the default font.
Ideas?
I think the answer is No. LaTeXdefines \oldstylenums
\def\oldstylenums#1{%
\begingroup
\spaceskip\fontdimen\tw@\font
\usefont{OML}{\rmdefault}{\f@series}{it}%
\mathgroup\symletters #1%
\endgroup
}
When a font contains old style numbers, like fourier, you find in the package fourier.sty an option : oldstyle.
\DeclareOption{oldstyle}{\def\textfamilyextension{j}%
\def\mathfamilyextension{x}\poormanfalse}
with
\newcommand*{\oldstyle}{\fontfamily{futj}\selectfont}
but in charter.sty there nothing about oldstyle. This is not encouraging
I'm not sure I recommend doing what you are doing. Since the dollar sign is usually used with numbers, the font designer has decided to use a sign that matches the oldstyle numerals, which is why you get the small dollar sign. But if you really want to do this you can create a new font family for the large dollar sign and then redefine \$ to use this version:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[
Mapping=tex-text,
Numbers={OldStyle}
]{Adobe Caslon Pro}
\newfontfamily\dollar{Adobe Caslon Pro}
\let\olddollar\$
\renewcommand{\$}{{\dollar\olddollar}}
\begin{document}
\$100
\end{document}
Alternatively, if you want to use both versions, you should not redefine \$ but create a new command \bigdollar and use that for the large dollar sign.

You need to use the option
Ligatures=TeX(orMapping=tex-textfor older version of fontspec), e.g.:
