-History
--------
-This font is just the same as Alexey Kryukov's beautiful *Old
-Standard*.[^1] In comparison to the previous releases of *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,
- which were missing from *Old Standard*, were already in use a
- century ago in fine books which used font faces very similar to
- *Old Standard*. Typical use cases of small capitals were headers,
- current headings and in some books proper names.
-2. A bold italic shape was first auto-generated in 2019. Of course,
- auto-generating shapes was not a satisfactory solution. Since then,
- the characters have been reworked manually.
-3. The letter G with caron above, that is: Ǧ (`U+01E6`, uppercase) and
- 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]
-4. Additionally, this release 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 worked in most cases
- with the previous release of *Old Standard*. However, it failed if
- the beta is preceded by a vowel with an acute accent taken from the
- *Greek extended* Unicode block.
-5. Open theta has been replaced with closed theta in slot 03B8 and
- rules ss05 and ss06 have been adjusted accordingly.
-6. **Oldstyle numerals**: These have been designed by Antonis
- Tsolomitis for regular and bold series and can be selected by
- `RawFeature=onum`. (Those for italic and bolditalic have been
- designed by R. Alessi.)
-7. **Math Font**: This is a major and long-awaited enhancement
- to Old Standard. The math font has been designed by Antonis
- Tsolomitis from an old French book published by Gauthier-Villars
- that used a font similar to Old Standard for Greek and a Bodoni font
- for Latin. As both Bodoni and Old Standard were “romantic”
- faces, it is hoped that they match up nicely, even if this remains
- to be proven...<br/>
- Two integrals are provided: a romantic one, which is selected by
- default, and an upright version, which can be selected with
- `StylisticSet=2`.
-
-### Why a new release of *Old Standard*?
-At the time of writing, *Old Standard* was last updated six years
-ago. Being unable himself to contact the author, the writer, while in
-need to have new letters included in *Old Standard* and some issues
-addressed, took the decision to make a new release of *Old Standard*,
-while maintaining the hope that the author will one day resume the
-development of this typeface.
