priate in situations where numbers need to line up from one line to the next, as in tables.
Proportional Lining
Uses full-height figures with varying widths (if available for the current font). This option is
recommended for text that uses all caps.

Uses varying-height figures with varying widths (if available for the current font). This option
is recommended for a classic, sophisticated look in text that doesn’t use all caps.
Tabular Oldstyle

is recommended when you want the classic appearance of old-style figures, but need them to align in columns, as in
an annual report.
