32 | <p>This font is just the same as Alexey Kryukov’s beautiful <em>Old | ||
33 | Standard</em>.<a href="#fn1" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref1" | ||
34 | role="doc-noteref"><sup>1</sup></a> In comparison to the previous | ||
35 | releases of <em>Old Standard</em>, it includes new letters and some | ||
36 | corrections:</p> | ||
37 | <ol type="1"> | ||
38 | <li>Small capitals for Roman, Greek and Cyrillic letters, in all three | ||
39 | styles, Regular, Italic and Bold have been added. Small capitals, which | ||
40 | were missing from <em>Old Standard</em>, were already in use a century | ||
41 | ago in fine books which used font faces very similar to <em>Old | ||
42 | Standard</em>. Typical use cases of small capitals were headers, current | ||
43 | headings and in some books proper names.</li> | ||
44 | <li><em>For the time being</em>, a bold italic shape has been | ||
45 | auto-generated. Of course, auto-generating shapes is not a satisfactory | ||
46 | solution. However, it is better than using the font loader to emulate | ||
47 | bold shapes. A real bold italic shape is planned in the versions of | ||
48 | <em>Old Standard</em> to come.</li> | ||
49 | <li>The letter G with caron above, that is: Ǧ (<code>U+01E6</code>, | ||
50 | uppercase) and ǧ (<code>U+01E7</code>, lowercase) has been added. It is | ||
51 | the only character missing from <em>Old Standard</em> that is needed in | ||
52 | some of the accepted standards of romanization of classical Arabic.<a | ||
53 | href="#fn2" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref2" | ||
54 | role="doc-noteref"><sup>2</sup></a></li> | ||
55 | <li>Additionally, this release corrects the <code>+ss06</code> feature | ||
56 | provided by <em>Old Standard</em>. This feature is supposed to | ||
57 | distinguish between regular and ‘curled’ beta (β/ϐ) and to print | ||
58 | ‘curled’ beta (<code>U+03D0</code>) in medial position. This feature | ||
59 | worked in most cases with the previous release of <em>Old Standard</em>. | ||
60 | However, it failed if the beta is preceded by a vowel with an acute | ||
61 | accent taken from the <em>Greek extended</em> Unicode block.</li> | ||
62 | </ol> | ||
63 | <h3 id="why-a-new-release-of-old-standard">Why a new release of <em>Old | ||
64 | Standard</em>?</h3> | ||
65 | <p>At the time of writing, <em>Old Standard</em> was last updated six | ||
66 | years ago. Being unable himself to contact the author, the writer, while | ||
67 | in need to have new letters included in <em>Old Standard</em> and some | ||
68 | issues addressed, took the decision to make a new release of <em>Old | ||
69 | Standard</em>, while maintaining the hope that the author will one day | ||
70 | resume the development of this typeface.</p> | ||
