History

This font is just the same as Alexey Kryukov's beautiful Old Standard.1 In comparison to Old Standard, Old Standard T includes new letters and some corrections:

+

This font is just the same as Alexey Kryukov's beautiful Old Standard.1 In comparison to Old Standard, it includes new letters and some corrections:

  1. 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 Old Standard, were already in use a century ago in fine books which used font faces very similar to Old Standard. Typical use cases of small capitals were headers, current headings and in some books proper names.
  2. The letter G with caron above, that is: Ǧ (U+01E6, uppercase) and ǧ (U+01E7, lowercase) has been added. It is the only character missing from Old Standard that is needed in some of the accepted standards of romanization of classical Arabic.2
    3. -
  3. Additionally, Old Standard T corrects the +ss06 feature provided by Old Standard. This feature is supposed to distinguish between regular and ‘curled’ beta (β/ϐ) and to print ‘curled’ beta (U+03D0) in medial position. This feature works in most cases with Old Standard. However, it fails if the beta is preceded by a vowel with an acute accent taken from the Greek extended Unicode block.

  4. Additionally, this release corrects the +ss06 feature provided by Old Standard.

Why Old Standard T?

-

At the time of writing, Old Standard was last updated six years ago. Nevertheless, the letter T stands for Transient, which means that Old Standard T, should only stay as long as what it features is not included in Old Standard.

+

Why a new release of Old Standard?

+

At the time of writing, Old Standard 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 .

Affected -characters from the Greek Extended Unicode block (\verb|0370–03FF|) -follow: \textgrc{ά, έ, ή, ί, ό, ύ, ώ, Ά, Έ, Ή, Ί, Ό, Ύ, Ώ, ΐ, ΰ, ´, - ΅}. The counterparts of these letters in the Greek and Coptic -Unicode block are vowels with \emph{tonoi}. - -However, strictly speaking, \emph{tonos} is not to be mistaken for -\enquote*{acute}: that is for sure, as \emph{tonos} was introduced as -a result of a reform to denote a tone, namely a stress on some vowels, -and not a pitch, namely a rising and falling voice on accented vowels. -Confusion began when the Greek government decreed that \emph{tonos} -shall be the acute. From what the writer could see, many Greek fonts -originally reflected the distinction between \emph{tonos} and acute. -But nowadays, they simply mix them up. As a result of this confusion, -in \emph{Old Standard}, vowels with acute were simply missing from the -Greek Extended Block. All of them, including the standalone accents, -have been restored in \emph{Old Standard T}. Furthermore, the rule -that instructed to absorb vowels with acute into vowels with -\emph{tonos} has been removed. - -Since assigning vowels with \emph{tonos} and vowels with acute to the -same code points is clearly unacceptable even if the glyphs are -identical, it is now possible in \emph{Old Standard T} to input all -accented vowels from the Greek Extended Unicode block exclusively and -have the substitution rules applied at the same time, as shown by the -example that follows:--- -\begin{tcblisting}{minted language=latex, minted - options={fontsize=\smaller, linenos, numbersep=0mm, - highlightlines={9-10}}} - \begin{grc} - \begin{center} - \textlarger{ΙΠΠΟΚΡΑΤΟΥΣ ΕΠΙΔΗΜΙΩΝ ΤΟ ΔΕΥΤΕΡΟΝ}. - - ΤΜΗΜΑ ΠΡΩΤΟΝ. - \end{center} - - \textbf{1.} Ἄνθρακες θερινοὶ ἐν Κραννῶνι· ὗεν ἐν καύμασιν ὕδατι - λάβρῳ δι’ ὅλου καὶ ἐγίνετο μᾶλλον νότῳ, [καὶ] ὑπογίνονται μὲν ἐν - τῷ δέρματι ἰχῶρες· ἐγκαταλαμβανόμενοι δέ, θερμαίνονται, καὶ - κνησμὸν ἐμποιέουσιν· εἶτα φλυκταινίδες ὥσπερ πυρίκαυστοι - ἐπανίσταντο καὶ ὑπὸ τὸ δέρμα καίεσθαι ἐδόκεον. - \end{grc} -\end{tcblisting} - -\subsection{Bold Italic shape} -\label{sec:bold-italic-shape} -As \emph{Old Standard}, \emph{Old Standard T} does not feature a bold -italic shape.

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 + \textsf{arabluatex} package.\footnote{\icite{arabluatex}[cite], sect{.} + \enquote{Transliteration}.} +\item Additionally, this release corrects the \verb|+ss06| feature + which 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 worked in most + cases with the previous releases. However, it failed if the beta was + 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} 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} +\end{code} + +\paragraph{Small capitals} +Small capitals have been added for the following languages or +transcription schemes: French, German, Italian, Spanish, unaccented +Greek, basic Russian and Arabic \enquote*{DMG}. + +The following two examples demonstrate the use of small capitals:--- +\begin{tcblisting}{minted language=latex, title=Initials, minted + options={fontsize=\smaller, linenos, numbersep=0mm, + highlightlines={7}}} + \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.

Affected +characters from the Greek Extended Unicode block (\verb|0370–03FF|) +follow: \textgrc{ά, έ, ή, ί, ό, ύ, ώ, Ά, Έ, Ή, Ί, Ό, Ύ, Ώ, ΐ, ΰ, ´, + ΅}. The counterparts of these letters in the Greek and Coptic +Unicode block are vowels with \emph{tonoi}. + +However, strictly speaking, \emph{tonos} is not to be mistaken for +\enquote*{acute}: that is for sure, as \emph{tonos} was introduced as +a result of a reform to denote a tone, namely a stress on some vowels, +and not a pitch, namely a rising and falling voice on accented vowels. +Confusion began when the Greek government decreed that \emph{tonos} +shall be the acute. From what the writer could see, many Greek fonts +originally reflected the distinction between \emph{tonos} and acute. +But nowadays, they simply mix them up. As a result of this confusion, +in \emph{Old Standard}, vowels with acute were simply missing from the +Greek Extended Block. All of them, including the standalone accents, +have been restored. Furthermore, the rule that instructed to absorb +vowels with acute into vowels with \emph{tonos} has been removed. + +Since assigning vowels with \emph{tonos} and vowels with acute to the +same code points is clearly unacceptable even if the glyphs are +identical, it is now possible in \emph{Old Standard} to input all +accented vowels from the Greek Extended Unicode block exclusively and +have the substitution rules applied at the same time, as shown by the +example that follows:--- +\begin{tcblisting}{minted language=latex, minted + options={fontsize=\smaller, linenos, numbersep=0mm, + highlightlines={9-10}}} + \begin{grc} + \begin{center} + \textlarger{ΙΠΠΟΚΡΑΤΟΥΣ ΕΠΙΔΗΜΙΩΝ ΤΟ ΔΕΥΤΕΡΟΝ}. + + ΤΜΗΜΑ ΠΡΩΤΟΝ. + \end{center} + + \textbf{1.} Ἄνθρακες θερινοὶ ἐν Κραννῶνι· ὗεν ἐν καύμασιν ὕδατι + λάβρῳ δι’ ὅλου καὶ ἐγίνετο μᾶλλον νότῳ, [καὶ] ὑπογίνονται μὲν ἐν + τῷ δέρματι ἰχῶρες· ἐγκαταλαμβανόμενοι δέ, θερμαίνονται, καὶ + κνησμὸν ἐμποιέουσιν· εἶτα φλυκταινίδες ὥσπερ πυρίκαυστοι + ἐπανίσταντο καὶ ὑπὸ τὸ δέρμα καίεσθαι ἐδόκεον. + \end{grc} +\end{tcblisting} + +\subsection{Bold Italic shape} +\label{sec:bold-italic-shape} +\emph{Old Standard} does not feature a bold italic shape.
