This is the README for the cabin package, version 2023-09-25. This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for the Cabin and Cabin Condensed families of sans serif fonts, designed by Pablo Impallari. Cabin is a humanist sans with four weights and true italics and small capitals. According to the designer, Cabin was inspired by Edward Johnston's and Eric Gill's typefaces, with a touch of modernism. Cabin incorporates modern proportions, optical adjustments, and some elements of the geometric sans. A compatible condensed family CabinCondensed is also available. To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/cabin.tds.zip, where the preferred URL for "tex-archive" is http://mirror.ctan.org. Unzip the archive at the root of an appropriate texmf tree, likely a personal or local tree. If necessary, update the file-name database (e.g., texhash). Update the font-map files by enabling the Map file cabin.map. To use, add \usepackage{cabin} to the preamble of your document. This makes Cabin the default sans family. To also set Cabin as the main text font, use \usepackage[sfdefault]{cabin} LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or who wish to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option. Other options include: bold semibold regular medium condensed Defaults are regular and bold (uncondensed). Small caps are available in non-condensed series. Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to adjust fontsizes to match a serifed font. Slanted variants are not supported; the designed italic variants will be automatically substituted. The only figure style supported is tabular-lining. Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, TS1, LY1. Macros \cabin and \cabincondensed select the Cabin and CabinCondensed font family, respectively. The original fonts are available at https://github.com/impallari/Cabin/ and are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, (version 1.1); the text may be found in the doc directory. The type1 versions were created using cfftot1. The support files were created using autoinst and are licensed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License. The maintainer of this package is Bob Tennent (rdt at cs.queensu.ca)

cabin.sty supports use of the font under LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX; it uses the mweights, to manage the user’s view of all those font weights.
