The old style figures are not spaced or kerned properly, or the switch for choosing between proportional and tabular versions does not work. However the error is that old figures are always displayed in a tabular fashion, that means with too much space around them.

A comment on an design aspect: The small caps in this font are actually petite caps. Small caps are normally slightly larger than the x-heigt so they can be used in acronyms in combination with lower case letters or plural markers, like the s in English as in SMEs, CEOs, etc.

Thanks for everybody involved in improving Garamond No8!
