How to show old-style figures using Default Sans font?

I find old-style figures very readable.  That is:

instead of:

 

In Windows, both the Default and Default Sans fonts use old-style figures but in the Mac version only the Default font uses old-style figures. I've tried switching to other OpenType fonts that I have installed which have common ligatures, old-style figures, etc. features in them and the common ligatures work but not the old-style figures.  These only seem to work for the default Logos (serif) font.  Please can the Mac version be updated to match the Windows version?  That is, have the Mac version show old-style figures for both Default and Default Sans fonts.

    Thanks for posting this. The font on my Mac version drove me so wild that I fired up my Windows version to work on tonight. The font made it somewhat difficult to read the text. I've tried to change the font several times on the Mac version, to no avail. I hope an update will fix this real soon.

    Logos pay a significant amount of attention to fine visual details such as font spacing, etc and usually respond fairly quickly to visual differences (in the text display) between Windows and Mac - as the recent BHS cropping issue shows - so I suspect this will be addressed fairly quickly too.
