Font specification does not apply to the monetary amount

[maxpowis]

I have a document with montserrat font applied as

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{montserrat}
\setsansfont{montserrat}
\setmonofont{montserrat}

However only the monetary amounts displayed with the currency package do not follow that font specification.

Hereafter a snippet that show the issue where the font is applied to the monetary symbol but not the numbers:

%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

\documentclass[10pt, a4paper]{beamer}

\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\usepackage{currency}
\DefineCurrency{EUR}{name={euro}, plural={euros}, symbol={\texteuro}, iso={EUR}, kind=iso, base=2}
\DefineCurrency{USD}{name={dollar}, plural={dollars}, symbol={\textdollar}, iso={USD}, kind=iso, base=2}
\CurrencySetup{kind=symbol}

\begin{document}

Symbol font changes but not the font of the number \\
\dEUR{4.2} = \dUSD{4.97} \\
\dEUR[font=\fontspec{Montserrat}]{4.2} = \dUSD[font=\fontspec{Montserrat}]{4.97} \\
\dEUR[font=\fontspec{montserrat}]{4.2} = \dUSD[font=\fontspec{montserrat}]{4.97}

\end{document}

Herafter a screenshot of the output compiled with xetex:

The package relies on siunitx so that this is feature of this package to have possibly different font for the figures and for the units. You may use e.g. mode=text (see the siunitx documentation at Section 4.2):

\CurrencySetup{kind=symbol,mode=text}

Thanks for the answer. Works perfectly with that adaptation. Now sure how well it was documented because I have tried lots of options before creating this issue.

Dear Max,

yes, sorry if the doc is unclear. By the way, currency relies on siunitx and this package has been subject to many releases. In particular, I think that the option I gave you is actually rather recent, in any ways posterior to the currency package.

Best regards Antoine
