OldStyle Figures instead of Lining Figures.

I assume that this is related to a fontconfig problem which I tried to
track down with the OpenOffice.org people for quite some time without
success. It seems that fontconfig does not necessarily export all the
properties correct (like Expert Font set, example: Utopia vs Utopia
Expert), or OsF fonts.
