\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.
