You can't copy it to someone else.
I may be wrong (always, always... ), but, as far as I know, it's not possible to specify the use of text figures in a typeface that doesn't use them (or something approximating them) as a default figure style - such as Georgia. Which I hate.

Minion, Garamond etc. contain glyphs for text fonts, but they're not selectable even if you have the stomach to wade into Calibre and fiddle with code. Again, I may be wrong.

But what I'm talking about is a purchased ebook. Again, as far as I know, I can't do anything with purchased ebooks on my device through Calibre - purchased books on my device don't even show up in Calibre when I plug the device in, so I don't see how I could do anything beyond changing the settings on the device itself. That's why I'm saying I'd prefer this option to be incorporated into device options. Which I realise is not a Calibre issue in any way.
