The writer is very far from being able to design glyphs \emph{ex

operate and if they operate as expected.

\begin{enumerate}
\item Small capitals for Roman, Greek and Cyrillic letters, in all
three styles, Regular, Italic and Bold have been added. Small
Arabic. See for references the current documentation of the
\textsf{arabluatex} package.\footnote{\icite{arabluatex}[cite], sect{.}

-\item Additionally, \emph{Old Standard T} corrects the \verb|+ss06|
- feature provided by \emph{Old Standard}. This feature is supposed to
- distinguish between regular and \enquote*{curled} beta (β/ϐ) and to
- print \enquote*{curled} beta (\verb|U+03D0|) in medial
- position. This feature works in most cases with \emph{Old
- Standard}. However, it fails if the beta is preceded by a vowel
- with an acute accent taken from the Greek extended Unicode block.
