-includes new letters and some corrections:
+Standard*.[^1] In comparison to *Old Standard*, it includes new
+letters and some corrections:
1. Small capitals for Roman, Greek and Cyrillic letters, in all three
styles, Regular, Italic and Bold have been added. Small capitals,
ǧ (`U+01E7`, lowercase) has been added. It is the only character
missing from *Old Standard* that is needed in some of the accepted
standards of romanization of classical Arabic.[^2]
-3. Additionally, *Old Standard T* corrects the `+ss06` feature
- provided by *Old Standard*. This feature is supposed to distinguish
- between regular and ‘curled’ beta (β/ϐ) and to print ‘curled’ beta
- (`U+03D0`) in medial position. This feature works in most cases
- with *Old Standard*. However, it fails if the beta is preceded by a
- vowel with an acute accent taken from the *Greek extended* Unicode
- block.

-### Why *Old Standard T*?
+### Why a new release of *Old Standard*?
At the time of writing, *Old Standard* was last updated six years
-ago. Nevertheless, the letter `T` stands for *Transient*, which means
-that *Old Standard T*, should only stay as long as what it features is
-not included in *Old Standard*.
+ago. Being unable himself to contact the author, the writer, while in
+need to have new letters included in \emph{Old Standard} and some
+issues addressed, took the decision to make a new release \emph{Old
+Standard}.
