Description

Right now, there are many fonts where old style numerals are default. In most cases, old style numerals are not desirable.

Most of these fonts include lining numerals as well, so we could easily change this in CSS by "font-variant-numeric: lining-nums; ".

But Google Fonts strips these non-default styles and doesn't include them, so we can't choose or even use CSS to change the style.

This prevents a ton of users from using many fonts they like, because they don't want to use the default old style numerals.

I think this is long overdue.
