-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. *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 *Old Standard* to come.
-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.
-
-### 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.
