History

-

This font is just the same as Alexey Kryukov’s beautiful Old -Standard.1 In comparison to the previous -releases of 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 -were 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. -
  2. For the time being, a bold italic shape has been -auto-generated. Of course, auto-generating shapes is not a satisfactory -solution. However, it is better than using the font loader to emulate -bold shapes. A real bold italic shape is planned in the versions of -Old Standard to come.
    3. -
  3. 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
    4. -
  4. Additionally, this release 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 -worked in most cases with the previous release of Old Standard. -However, it failed if the beta is preceded by a vowel with an acute -accent taken from the Greek extended Unicode block.
    5. -

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 Old Standard and some -issues addressed, took the decision to make a new release of Old -Standard, while maintaining the hope that the author will one day -resume the development of this typeface.
