How to Align Numbers Using Tabular Lining in Nobel Font

I’m using the font Nobel and trying to apply tabular lining to a numbered list, but the 1’s and 7’s are just not aligning. I saw one other question on here asking the same thing, but I’ve gone through the steps (mainly making sure kerning is Metric, not Optical), but it’s still not working. Would appreciate any help! :) 

 

Screenshots of how the numbers look right now, and my paragraph style settings:

    As far as I can tell, those features are not available in that font. If you highlight the text and open the character panel you'll see those choices in brackets.

    Oh I see! TIL the brackets mean it’s unavailable aha. Guess I’ll just have to use a different font. Thanks for your help Bob :)

    As a general rule, look for a pro font when you need advanced opentype feature.
