| 9 | <li>Small capitals for Roman, Greek and Cyrillic letters, in all three styles, Regular, Italic and Bold have been added. Small capitals, which are missing from <em>Old Standard</em>, were already in use a century ago in fine books which used font faces very similar to <em>Old Standard</em>. Typical use cases of small capitals were headers, current headings and in some books proper names.</li> | 9 | <li>Small capitals for Roman, Greek and Cyrillic letters, in all three styles, Regular, Italic and Bold have been added.

| 11 | <li>Additionaly, <em>Old Standard T</em> corrects the <code>+ss06</code> feature provided by <em>Old Standard</em>. This feature is supposed to distinguish between regular and ‘curly’ beta (β/ϐ) and to print ‘curly’ beta (<code>U+03D0</code>) in medial position. This feature works in most cases with <em>Old Standard</em>. However, it fails if the beta is preceded by a vowel with an acute accent taken from the <em>Greek extended</em> Unicode block.</li> | 11 | <li>Additionally, <em>Old Standard T</em> corrects the <code>+ss06</code> feature provided by <em>Old Standard</em>.
