For some problem for textbook I need the digits 0…9 like in zip-codes on the Soviet-Union postal envelopes,
like this
Does anybody know the possible font or package for getting them in LaTeX?
Thanks

\usepackage{libris} should allow you to use this font.
The bottleneck is using \fontspec. Rather declare a new font family, so font allocation is not redone at each start of a run of digits.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{TeX Gyre Termes}
\newfontfamily{\digits}{TeX Gyre Heros}
\XeTeXinterchartokenstate=1
\chardef\CharNormal=0
\makeatletter
% Test for old and new versions of the latex kernel
\ifx\e@alloc@intercharclass@top\@undefined
\chardef\CharBound=255
\else
\chardef\CharBound=\e@alloc@intercharclass@top
\fi
\makeatother
\newXeTeXintercharclass\CharNumbers
\XeTeXcharclass`0=\CharNumbers
\XeTeXcharclass`1=\CharNumbers
\XeTeXcharclass`2=\CharNumbers
\XeTeXcharclass`3=\CharNumbers
\XeTeXcharclass`4=\CharNumbers
\XeTeXcharclass`5=\CharNumbers
\XeTeXcharclass`6=\CharNumbers
\XeTeXcharclass`7=\CharNumbers
\XeTeXcharclass`8=\CharNumbers
\XeTeXcharclass`9=\CharNumbers
\XeTeXinterchartoks\CharNormal\CharNumbers={\begingroup\digits}
\XeTeXinterchartoks\CharBound\CharNumbers={\begingroup\digits}
\XeTeXinterchartoks\CharNumbers\CharNormal={\endgroup}
\XeTeXinterchartoks\CharNumbers\CharBound={\endgroup}
\begin{document}
\count255=0
\loop\ifnum\count255<1000
\advance\count255 1
Text 123 text1text\endgraf
123\endgraf
\repeat
\end{document}
I tried these 2000 paragraphs with and without the interchar tokens and the compilation time is comparable.
