in use a century ago in fine books which used font faces very
similar to \emph{Old Standard}. Typical use cases of small capitals
were headers, current headings and in some books proper names.
+\item \emph{For the time being}, a bold italic shape has been
+ auto-generated. Of course, auto-generating shapes is not a
+ satisfactory solution. However, it is better than using the
+ font loader to emulate bold shapes. A real bold italic shape is
+ planned in the versions of \emph{Old Standard} to come.
\item The letter G with caron above, that is: Ǧ (\verb|U+01E6|,
uppercase) and ǧ (\verb|U+01E7|, lowercase) has been added. It is
the only character missing from \emph{Old Standard} that is needed

-\emph{Old Standard} does not feature a bold italic shape. However,
-both \XeTeX\ and \LuaTeX\ engines can emulate this shape as shown in
-the following two examples:
-
-\begin{tcblisting}{minted options={linenos, numbersep=0mm,
- fontsize=\smaller}, listing only, title=\XeLaTeX}
- \usepackage{fontspec}
- \setmainfont{Old Standard}[
- BoldItalicFont={Old Standard Italic},
- BoldItalicFeatures={FakeBold=1.5}]
-\end{tcblisting}
-
-\begin{tcblisting}{minted options={linenos, numbersep=0mm,
- fontsize=\smaller}, listing only, title=\LuaLaTeX}
- \usepackage{fontspec}
- \setmainfont{Old Standard}[
- BoldItalicFont={Old Standard Italic},
- BoldItalicFeatures={RawFeature={+embolden=2}}]
