8 | <h2 id="notes">Notes</h2> | 8 | <ol style="list-style-type: decimal"> |
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> | ||
10 | <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> | ||
11 | <li>Additionaly, <em>Old Standard T</em> corrects <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> | ||

13 | <h3 id="why-old-standard-t">Why <em>Old Standard T</em>?</h3> | ||
14 | <p>At the time of writing, <em>Old Standard</em> was last updated six years ago. Nevertheless, the letter <code>T</code> stands for <em>Transient</em>, which means that <em>Old Standard T</em>, should only stay as long as what it features is not included in <em>Old Standard</em>.</p> | ||
