Oldstyle figure 1 in EB Garamond

Question

Using ebgaramond package, is there any way to get an oldstyle figure 1 that looks like a shorter 1 rather than a shorter I?

Really oldstyle 1s do look like a small caps I. – Bernard Mar 08 '20 at 16:12 — Bernard, Mar 08 '20 at 16:12
I know, but garamondx uses such a modified oldstyle 1. – totera Mar 09 '20 at 00:53 — totera, Mar 09 '20 at 00:53
@totera garamondx oldstyle 1 is ugly. – user574859 Feb 07 '23 at 18:59 — user574859, Feb 07 '23 at 18:59

The ebgaramond package provides no means for using the glyph you want, but if you use xetex or luatex, you don’t need the package:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{EB Garamond}[UprightFeatures={CharacterVariant=11}]
\begin{document}
12345
\end{document}

This variant is available only in the roman, not the italic.

Note that this solution works for the EB Garamond from Georg Duffner; TeX Live contains only the modified fonts from Octavio Pardo. The latter require that you specify Numbers=OldStyle and, although they contain the glyph you want (one.01), they provide no feature for using it. With LuaLaTeX, you can create a feature on the fly for this modified EB Garamond:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\directlua{
  fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature{
    name = "wxyz",
    type = "alternate",
    data = {
      ["one.osf"] = "one.01",
      ["one.tosf"] = "one.tosf01",
    },
  }
}
\setmainfont{EB Garamond}[
  Numbers={OldStyle,Proportional},
  RawFeature=+wxyz]
\begin{document}
12345

\addfontfeature{Numbers=Tabular}12345
\end{document}

How can I change lua code to obtain this in EB Garamond 12 ? — ReRunner, Dec 09 '20 at 10:36
@ReRunner I assume you’re referring to Georg Duffner’s fonts, in which case the first part of my answer works. — Thérèse, Dec 09 '20 at 13:39
@Thérèse, Is there a way to get bold and/or bold-italic figure of it under XeLaTeX? — settimed, Aug 10 '21 at 14:14
