There are two different ways of describing figures (as represented by Quark XPress and InDesign), and I’ve mixed them up in that chart, which isn’t correct.

Proportional, Tabular, Old-style, and Lining,

rather than the four instances:
Oldstyle Proportional
Oldstyle Tabular
Lining Proportional
Lining Tabular

So to indicate the four instances, I should have done this:
