+This is the README for the cabin package, version 2019-04-24.
+
+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
+
+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)
