This Font Software is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. This license is available with a FAQ at: \url{http://scripts.sil.org/OFL} \section{History} \label{sec:history} \emph{Old Standard} is a remarkable creation of Alexey Kryukov, inspired by a typeface most commonly used in books printed in the late \textsc{xix}\textsuperscript{th} and early \textsc{xx}\textsuperscript{th} century. The source files, which can be found online,\footnote{See \url{https://github.com/akryukov/oldstand}} have been published under the terms of the OFL license (see above, \vref{sec:license}). However, at the time of writing, the latest 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 Standard} has been published by Nikola Lečić and Bob Tennent and is available on CTAN and {\TeX}Live with a style file.\footnote{See \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/oldstandard}} Being unable himself to contact the author, the writer, while in need to have new letters included in \emph{Old Standard} and some issues addressed, took the decision to release \emph{Old Standard T}. \paragraph{Important disclaimer} The writer is very far from being able to design glyphs \emph{ex nihilo}. That aside, he has some limited knowledge in the use of FontForge, and, as a classicist, he is able to scrutinize how features operate and if they operate as expected. In \emph{Old Standard T}, the letter \emph{T} stands for \emph{Transient}, which means that \emph{Old Standard T} should only stay as long as what it features is not included in \emph{Old Standard}. \section{Documentation} \label{sec:documentation} No documentation is associated with \emph{Old Standard T} as every item of the original extensive documentation applies. The reader should refer to it.\icite{oldstandard} \section{Additions and corrections provided by Old Stan\-dard~T} \label{sec:addit-corr-prov} \emph{Old Standard T} includes new letters and some corrections: \begin{enumerate} \item 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 \emph{Old Standard}, were already 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 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 in some of the accepted standards of romanization of classical Arabic. See for references the current documentation of the \pkg{arabluatex} package.\footnote{\icite{arabluatex}[cite], sect{.} \enquote{Transliteration}.} \item Additionally, \emph{Old Standard T} corrects the \verb|+ss06| feature provided by \emph{Old Standard}. This feature is supposed to distinguish between regular and \enquote*{curled} beta (β/ϐ) and to print \enquote*{curled} beta (\verb|U+03D0|) in medial position. This feature works in most cases with \emph{Old Standard}. However, it fails if the beta is preceded by a vowel with an acute accent taken from the Greek extended Unicode block. \end{enumerate} \section{Usage} \label{sec:usage} \emph{Old Standard T} works with \TeX\ engines that directly support OpenType features such as \XeTeX\ and \LuaTeX. It is loaded with \pkg{fontspec} like so:--- \begin{code} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont{Old Standard T} \end{code} \paragraph{Small capitals} The following example demonstrates the use of small capitals:--- \begin{example} \begin{center} CHAPTER I MR. SHERLOCK HOLMES \end{center} \lettrine[loversize=0.2]{M}{r. Sherlock Holmes}, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he stayed up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the hearth-rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before. It was a fine, thick piece of wood, bulbous-headed, of the sort which is known as a \enquote{Penang lawyer.} Just under the head was a broad silver band, nearly an inch across. \enquote{To James Mortimer, M.R.C.S., from his friends of the C.C.H.,} was engraved upon it, with the date \enquote{1884.} It was just such a stick as the old-fashioned family practitioner used to carry—dignified, solid, and reassuring. \end{example} Another example follows:--- \begin{example} \doublespacing \begin{center} \textlarger{PART SECOND}. ETYMOLOGY OR THE PART OF THE SPEECH. \rule{1in}{0.4pt} I. THE VERB, \arb{al-fi`lu}. A. \textsc{General View}. 1. \emph{The Forms of the Triliteral Verb}. \end{center} \end{example} \paragraph{The letter \enquote*{ǧ}} It is used notably to print romanized Arabic:--- \begin{example} \begin{arab}[trans] \begin{center} \textbf{dajAjaTu \uc{'a}bI 'l-\uc{h}u_dayli 'l-\uc{`a}llAfi} \end{center} kAna \uc{'a}bU 'l-\uc{h}u_dayli 'ahd_A 'il_A \uc{m}uwaysiN dajAjaTaN. wa-kAnat dajAjatu-hu 'llatI 'ahdA-hA dUna mA kAna yuttaxa_du li-\uc{m}uwaysiN. (\uc{al-jA.hi.zu}, \aemph{\uc{k}itAbu 'l-\uc{b}u_halA'i}) \end{arab} \end{example} \begin{example} \begin{grc} \begin{center} \textlarger{ΕΠΙΔΗΜΙΩΝ ΤΟ ΔΕΥΤΕΡΟΝ}.
