README
This is the README for the librecaslon package, version 2022-09-18. This package provides the Libre Caslon Text family of fonts, designed by Pablo Impallari. An artificially generated BoldItalic variant has been added. To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/librecaslon.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 LibreCaslon.map. To use, add \usepackage{librecaslon} to the preamble of your document. This will activate Libre Caslon Text as the main (serifed) text font. Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to scale the fonts. The default figure style is proportional lining but options osf (or oldstyle) and tf (or tabular) allow for use of oldstyle and lining tabular figures, respectively. Macro \librecaslon selects the Libre Caslon Text family. Macros \librecaslonLF, \librecaslonOsF and \librecaslonTLF allow for local use of lining, oldstyle or tabular figures, respectively. \textsu{...} and \textin{...} can be used for superior (superscript) and inferior (subscript) figures, respectively. Command \useosf switches the default figure style to old-style figures; this is primarily for use after calling a math package with lining figures as the default. The fonts (version 1.002) were obtained from https://github.com/impallari/Libre-Caslon-Text and are licensed under the SIL Open Font License (version 1.1); the text may be found in the doc directory. The BoldItalic variant and the type1 fonts were generated from them by fontforge or cfftot1. The rest of the package is licensed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License. The maintainer of this package is Bob Tennent (rdt at cs.queensu.ca)
