Within LaTeX, Adobe Stempel Garamond with SmallCaps and
true oldstyle figures is mapped to the font families "pegx"
and "pegj".  "pegx" comes with regular digits, whereas
"pegj" has oldstyle digits as the default ones.  Thus, the
command

  \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pegj}

makes LaTeX use Ste,pel Garamond with oldstyle digits and
true smallcaps as the default roman font family, whereas

  \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pegx}
  
selects Garamond with normal figures.

|  Notice that Garamond is supported with T1 (european) and
|  TS1 (textcompanion) encoding only, so you should issue 
|  the commands
|
|    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
|    \usepackage{textcomp}
|
|  in the document preamble.  The obsolete OT1 encoding,
|  which is still the default with LaTeX, is _not_
|  supported.



Kerning data
------------
The kerning tables supplied by Adobe are suitable for the
English language only.  They do not cover accented letters,
and they do not take care of typical letter pairs in
non-English languages.  With the present set of TeX metrics
I have -- to my best knowledge -- enhanced the kerning
tables to fix the most obvious deficiencies for the German 
language.  


Suitable math fonts
-------------------
As to math typesetting, Stempel Garamond gows well with the 
Euler fonts.  Use them through the LaTeX macro package 
eulervm.sty:

  \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pegx}
  \usepackage[small]{eulervm}



NFSS classification of the text fonts
-------------------------------------

  family  series  shape(s)   PostScript-FontName

  pegx    m       n, it, sc  StempelGaramond-Roman,
                             StempelGaramond-RomanSC,
                             StempelGaramond-Italic
  pegx    b       n, it      StempelGaramond-Bold,
                             StempelGaramond-BoldItalic
  pegj    m       n, it      StempelGaramond-Roman,
                             StempelGaramond-RomanSC,
                             StempelGaramond-ItalicOsF
  pegj    b       n, it      StempelGaramond-BoldOsF,
                             StempelGaramond-BoldItalicOsF

Available encodings:  T1 (European), TS1 (text companion).
The text companion fonts include only the glyphs of the
ISO-Adobe character set, plus the Euro symbol.
