tyle-type: decimal"> <li>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 <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> <li>The letter G with caron above, that is: Ǧ (<code>U+01E6</code>, uppercase) and ǧ (<code>U+01E7</code>, lowercase) has been added. It is the only character missing from <em>Old Standard</em> that is needed in some of the accepted standards of romanization of classical Arabic.<a href="#fn2" class="footnoteRef" id="fnref2"><sup>2</sup></a></li> <li>Additionally, this release corrects the <code>+ss06</code> feature provided by <em>Old Standard</em>. This feature is supposed to distinguish between regular and ‘curled’ beta (β/ϐ) and to print ‘curled’ beta (<code>U+03D0</code>) in medial position. This feature worked in most cases with the previous release of <em>Old Standard</em>. However, it failed if the beta is preceded by a vowel with an acute accent taken from the <em>Greek extended</em> Unicode block.</li> </ol> <h3 id="why-a-new-release-of-old-standard">Why a new release of <em>Old Standard</em>?</h3> <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 and some issues addressed, took the decision to make a new release .</p> <h2 id="documentation">Documentation</h2> <p>Please refer to Alexey Kryukov's documentation which is can be found here: <a href="http://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/oldstandard/doc/oldstand-manual.pdf" class="uri">http://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/oldstandard/doc/oldstand-manual.pdf</a></p> <div class="footnotes"> <hr /> <ol> <li id="fn1"><p>See <a href="https://github.com/akryukov/oldstand" class="uri">https://github.com/akryukov/oldstand</a><a href="#fnref1">↩</a></p></li> <li id="fn2"><p>See for references the <a href="http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/arabluatex/arabluatex.pdf">current documentation of the arabluatex package</a>, sect. “Transliteration”.<a href="#fnref2">↩</a></p></li> </ol> </div>
