update dates back to Aug.\ 12, 2013. To be more precise, all of the
five \enquote*{commits} the writer was able to see were pushed on the
very same day. Since then, two \enquote*{pull requests} dating back to
-2017 have been remained unanswered. It is therefore to be feared that
-the project has been abandoned. To date, this release of \emph{Old

available on CTAN and {\TeX}Live with a style file.\footnote{See

Being unable himself to contact the author, the writer, while in need
to have new letters included in \emph{Old Standard} and some issues

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

-operate and if they operate as expected.

+Back in 2019, he writer was far from being able to design glyphs
+\emph{ex nihilo}. That aside, he had some limited knowledge in the use
+of FontForge, and, as a classicist, was able to scrutinize how
+features operate and if they operate as expected. Since then, some
+progress has been made in the art of drawing characters, which has led
+to the revision and correction of a number of glyphs.
\section{Additions and corrections provided}
\label{sec:addit-corr-prov}
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 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.
\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
cases with the previous releases. However, it failed if the beta was
preceded by a vowel with an acute accent taken from the Greek
extended Unicode block.
+\item Open theta has been replaced with closed theta in slot 03B8 and
+ rules ss05 and ss06 have been adjusted accordingly, like so:---
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item \texttt{Default}: {\addfontfeatures{RawFeature={-ss05;-ss06}}%
+ θαυμασθεὶς ὁ βάρβαρος.}
+ \item \texttt{ss05}: {\addfontfeatures{RawFeature={+ss05;-ss06}}%
+ θαυμασθεὶς ὁ βάρβαρος.}
+ \item \texttt{ss06}: {\addfontfeatures{RawFeature={-ss05;+ss06}}%
+ θαυμασθεὶς ὁ βάρβαρος.}
+ \item \texttt{ss05} and \texttt{ss06}:
+ {\addfontfeatures{RawFeature={+ss05;+ss06}}%
+ θαυμασθεὶς ὁ βάρβαρος.}
+ \end{enumerate}
+\item \textbf{Oldstyle numerals}: These have been designed by Antonis
+ Tsolomitis for regular and bold series and can be selected by
+ \verb|RawFeature=onum|.
+\item \textbf{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 \enquote{romantic}
+ faces, it is hoped that they match up nicely, even if this remains
+ to be proven\dots\\
+ Two integrals are provided: a romantic one, which is selected by
+ default, and an upright version, which can be selected with
+ \verb|StylisticSet=2|.
\end{enumerate}
\section{Usage}
\end{grc}
\end{tcblisting}
-\subsection{Bold Italic shape}
-\label{sec:bold-italic-shape}
-\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}}]
-\end{tcblisting}

\subsection{Using \emph{Old Standard} in multilingual
documents}
\label{sec:using-old-standard}
here is how \emph{Old Standard} has been loaded in the preamble of
this document to be compiled with \LuaLaTeX:---
\begin{code}
- \usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage[greek.ancient,english]{babel}
\babeltags{grc = greek}
- \babelfont{rm}[BoldItalicFont={Old Standard Italic},
- BoldItalicFeatures={RawFeature={+embolden=2}}]{Old Standard}
-
- \babelfont[greek]{rm}[RawFeature={+ss05;+ss06},
- BoldItalicFont={Old Standard Italic},
- BoldItalicFeatures={RawFeature={+embolden=2}}]{Old Standard}
+ \babelfont{rm}{Old Standard}
+ \babelfont[greek]{rm}[RawFeature=ss05]{Old Standard}
\end{code}
Then, once \emph{Old Standard} has been loaded with \cs{babelfont}
