Lining numbers in bibitem label

Question

I'm using luatex with fontspec and Minion Pro font. I want to typeset the labels in thebibliography environment in lining numerals instead of text numbers (as it is when you simply invoke Minion Pro), but couldn't achieve this.

Could anybody help me with this?

Answer 1

You can make a newfontfamily with lining numbers and switch to that family before the bilio: An example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX,Numbers={Monospaced,OldStyle}]{Minion Pro}
\newfontfamily\LFFam[Renderer=Basic,Numbers=Lining,Ligatures=TeX]{Minion Pro}

\begin{document}

These are non-lining numbers: 0123456789

{\LFFam
and these are lining numbers: 012345678}

\end{document}
