+This is the README for the atkinson package, version
+2021-02-05.
+
+This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
+support for the Atkinson Hyperlegible family of fonts,
+named after Braille Institute founder, J. Robert Atkinson.
+What makes it different from traditional typography design
+is that it focuses on letterform distinction to increase
+character recognition, ultimately improving readability.
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant
+TeX system download the file
+"tex-archive"/install/fonts/atkinson.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 atkinson.map.
+
+To use, add
+
+\usepackage{atkinson}
+
+to the preamble of your document. This makes Atkinson Hyperlegible the
+default sans family. To also set Atkinson Hyperlegible as the main text
+font, use
+
+\usepackage[sfdefault]{atkinson}
+
+LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or
+who wish to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option.
+
+Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to
+adjust the sans fontsizes to match a serifed font.
+
+The default figure style is proportional-lining but the
+following option may be used to get tabular figures:
+
+tabular (or t)
+
+The following allow for localized use of non-default figure
+styles:
+
+\atkinsonLF{...} (proportional lining)
+\atkinsonTLF{...} (tabular lining)
+
+Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, TS1, and LY1.
+
+The original opentype fonts are available at
+https://brailleinstitute.org/freefont and are licensed under
+the Atkinson Hyperlegible Font License; the text may be
+found in the doc directory. The type1 versions were created
+using cfftot1 and named in accordance with the Reserved
+Typeface Name condition. 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)
