Ehrhardt MT Pro & text figures

fission

I'm looking for an OpenType version of Ehrhardt that has text figures. Does anyone know if such a thing exists?

I see "Ehrhardt MT Pro" on the Monotype site, but it looks like only the Regular weight has text figures. I see a few Expert weights (Type 1), but I'm trying hard to buy only OpenType now.

Could anyone that has the Pro version check to see whether the Italic weight has text figures? I've emailed Monotype but no response yet.

Thanks!

I see Erhardt in OpenType right there, following your link. The italic seems to have text figures as well. Just click on the OT packages and you'll see.

Where do you actually see them? All I can see in the graphic are lining figures with a statement that says "This is an OpenType Pro font, offering extended character and language support beyond what is shown above."

This is one reason I don't like to use fonts.com.

In the print catalog, all four OT fonts in the family are pictured with icons for ligatures, oldstyle figures, diagonal fractions, superscript/subscript, and ordinals.

The regular font also has small caps.

Thanks for your replies! Dan, that's great news. I wish the website would better reflect that. (I much prefer the Linotype or Veer sites for type browsing.)

I gave up on the email and called "fonts.com" today; they double-checked and the italic does indeed come with text figures.

Anyone know why only Monotype carries the Pro version? ;-)
