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 + +These are now implemented by defining macros recognized by commands +defined in package mweights (without re-defining \bfdefault or +\mddefault). + +condensed + +Defaults are regular and bold (uncondensed). + +Available shapes in all series include: + +it italic +sc small caps +scit italic small caps + +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. However, there are currently no italic +versions of the condensed variants and so artificially slanted versions +have been generated and treated as if they were italic. The only figure +style supported is tabular-lining. Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, +LY1 and TS1. + +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) |
