Can you specify tabular lining figures for webfonts?

Since it's possible to specify lining and oldstyle figures I'm hoping there's browser support for tabular numerals with webfonts?

Solution

  • Simply, yes.

    Presently you can use the attribute "font-feature-settings" in its prefixed forms and add "tnum" to the value list (example) to access tabular numerals in OpenType enabled fonts:

    font-feature-settings: 'tnum';
-webkit-font-feature-settings: 'tnum';
-moz-font-feature-settings: 'tnum';

    Check caniuse to see if the prefixed versions are still needed.

    Note, if you are using Typekit to serve your webfonts, make sure to select "All Characters" under Language Support.
