 113 \section{History}
 114 \label{sec:history}
 115 \emph{Old Standard} is a remarkable creation of Alexey Kryukov,
 116 inspired by a typeface most commonly used in books printed in the late
 117 \textsc{xix}\textsuperscript{th} and early
 118 \textsc{xx}\textsuperscript{th} century. The source files, which can
 119 be found online,\footnote{See
 120   \url{https://github.com/akryukov/oldstand}} have been published
 121 under the terms of the OFL license (see above, sect{.}
 122 \vref{sec:license}). However, at the time of writing, the latest
 123 update dates back to Aug. 12, 2013. To be more precise, all of the
 124 five \enquote*{commits} the writer was able to see were pushed on the
 125 very same day. Since then, two \enquote*{pull requests} dating back to
 126 2017 have been remained unanswered. It is therefore to be feared that
 127 the project has been abandoned.
 128
 129 To date, this release of \emph{Old Standard} has been published by
 130 Nikola Lečić and Bob Tennent and is available on CTAN and {\TeX}Live
 131 with a style file.\footnote{See
 132   \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/oldstandard}}
 133
 134 Being unable himself to contact the author, the writer, while in need
 135 to have new letters included in \emph{Old Standard} and some issues
 136 addressed, took the decision to release \emph{Old Standard T}.
 137
 138 \paragraph{Important disclaimer}
 139 The writer is very far from being able to design glyphs \emph{ex
 140   nihilo}. That aside, he has some limited knowledge in the use of
 141 FontForge, and, as a classicist, he is able to scrutinize how features
 142 operate and if they operate as expected.
 143
 144 In \emph{Old Standard T}, the letter \emph{T} stands for
 145 \emph{Transient}, which means that \emph{Old Standard T} should only
 146 stay as long as what it features is not included in \emph{Old
 147   Standard}.
 148
 149 \section{Documentation}
 150 \label{sec:documentation}
 151 No documentation is associated with \emph{Old Standard T} as every
 152 item of the original extensive documentation applies. The reader
 153 should refer to it.\icite{oldstandard}

 155 \section{Additions and corrections provided by
 156   Old Stan\-dard~T}
 157 \label{sec:addit-corr-prov}
 158 \emph{Old Standard T} includes new letters and some corrections:
 159 \begin{compactenum}
 160 \item Small capitals for Roman, Greek and Cyrillic letters, in all
 161   three styles, Regular, Italic and Bold have been added. Small
 162   capitals, which are missing from \emph{Old Standard}, were already
 163   in use a century ago in fine books which used font faces very
 164   similar to \emph{Old Standard}. Typical use cases of small capitals
 165   were headers, current headings and in some books proper names.
 166 \item The letter G with caron above, that is: Ǧ (\verb|U+01E6|,
 167   uppercase) and ǧ (\verb|U+01E7|, lowercase) has been added. It is
 168   the only character missing from \emph{Old Standard} that is needed
 169   in some of the accepted standards of romanization of classical
 170   Arabic. See for references the current documentation of the
 171   \pkg{arabluatex} package.\footnote{\icite{arabluatex}[cite], sect{.}
 172     \enquote{Transliteration}.}
 173 \item Additionally, \emph{Old Standard T} corrects the \verb|+ss06|
 174   feature provided by \emph{Old Standard}. This feature is supposed to
 175   distinguish between regular and \enquote*{curled} beta (β/ϐ) and to
 176   print \enquote*{curled} beta (\verb|U+03D0|) in medial
 177   position. This feature works in most cases with \emph{Old
 178     Standard}. However, it fails if the beta is preceded by a vowel
 179   with an acute accent taken from the Greek extended Unicode block.
