I like text figures a lot. It definitely gives a classy feel to any text.

In my CSS, I ask for "Hoefler Text" (for Mac), Georgia (for Windows) and…
nothing for Linux.

So I ask for a DejaVu variant with text figures or, better yet, text figures as
allographs of usual numbers. Mac OS X allows choosing the particular allograph
I want, but I am not sure if something in the css allows forcing an allograph
in particular (context is downloadable fonts, of course).
