+This is the README for the charissil package, version 5.0,
+release 2020-07-19.
+
+This package provides the CharisSIL family of fonts
+adapted by SIL International from Bitstream Charter
+in both TrueType and Type1 formats, with support for both
+traditional and modern LaTeX processors.
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant
+TeX system download the file
+"tex-archive"/install/fonts/charissil.tds.zip where the
+preferred URL for "tex-archive" is http://mirrors.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 CharisSIL.map.
+
+To use, add
+
+\usepackage{CharisSIL}
+
+to the preamble of your document. This will activate
+CharisSIL as the main (serifed) text font. Regular,
+Italic, Bold and BoldItalic styles are available. Font
+encodings supported are OT1, T1, TS1, LY1 and T2A/B/C.
+The only figure style is tabular-lining.
+
+If LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users prefer type1 fonts or wish to
+avoid fontspec they may use the type1 option.
+
+Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to
+scale the fonts.
+
+The fonts 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 fontforge. The LaTeX
+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).
