title: Getting different figure types with Google Web Fonts
body: <p>According to <a href="http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Raleway" rel="noreferrer">this page</a>:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[Raleway] is a display face and the download features both <strong>old style</strong>
    and <strong>lining</strong> numerals, standard and discretionary ligatures, a pretty
    complete set of diacritics, as well as a stylistic alternate inspired
    by more geometric sans-serif typefaces than its neo-grotesque inspired
    default character set.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p><em>(Emphasis mine)</em></p>
  
  <p>The default for numerals is "old style" ("onum" <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/featurelist.htm" rel="noreferrer">OpenType feature string</a>), which look pretty awful when used in headlines. Ideally, I'd like to be able to use the "lining" variant ("lnum"), with "tabular" ("tnum") kerning (As opposed to proportional -- "pnum"). </p>
  
  <p>I've tried using the following block of <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-feature-settings" rel="noreferrer">font-feature-settings</a> declarations, to no avail:</p>
  
  <pre><code>font-feature-settings: "onum" off, "pnum" off, "lnum" on, "tnum" on;
  -moz-font-feature-settings: "onum=0, pnum=0, lnum=1, tnum=1";       /* Firefox */
  -webkit-font-feature-settings: "onum" off, "pnum" off, "lnum" on, "tnum" on;  /* WebKit */
  -o-font-feature-settings: "onum" off, "pnum" off, "lnum" on, "tnum" on;       /* Opera */
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any thoughts? If I wanted to download the full font and then re-export it as a web-font, how would I do so while ensuring I get the lining figures?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
