+\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, sect{.}
+\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{compactenum}
+\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{compactenum}
