History
-------
This font is just the same as Alexey Kryukov's beautiful *Old
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.
+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
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`.
+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

-<ol type="1">
-<li>Small capitals for Roman, Greek and Cyrillic letters, in all three
-styles, Regular, Italic and Bold have been added. Small capitals, which

-‘curled’ beta (<code>U+03D0</code>) in medial position. This feature

-<p>At the time of writing, <em>Old Standard</em> was last updated six
-years ago. Being unable himself to contact the author, the writer, while
-in need to have new letters included in <em>Old Standard</em> and some

+\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 \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 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}

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}{Old Standard}
-
- \babelfont[greek]{rm}[RawFeature={+ss05;+ss06}]{Old Standard}
+ \babelfont[greek]{rm}[RawFeature=ss05]{Old Standard}
\end{code}
