+This is the README for the coelacanth package, version 0.005
+(2017-09-10).
+
+This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
+support for Coelecanth fonts, designed by Ben Whitmore.
+
+Coelacanth is inspired by the classic Centaur type design
+of Bruce Rogers, described by some as the most beautiful
+typeface ever designed. It aims to be a professional quality
+type family for general book typesetting.
+
+Currently available in six weights for upright text, but
+only a single italic font.
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant
+TeX system download the file
+"tex-archive"/install/fonts/coelacanth.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 Coelacanth.map.
+
+To use, add
+
+\usepackage{coelacanth}
+
+to the preamble of your document. Options include:
+
+oldstyle,osf old-style figures
+lining,nf,lf lining figures
+
+proportional,p varying-width figures
+tabular,t fixed-width figures
+
+The defaults are oldstyle and proportional.
+
+The default weights are regular and bold but other weights
+can be obtained by using the following options:
+
+l light
+el extra light
+
+sb semibold
+h heavy
+
+Available shapes include:
+
+sc small caps
+
+and, in regular weight only,
+
+it italic
+scit italic small caps
+
+Slanted variants are not supported; the italic variant will
+be automatically substituted. Font encodings supported are
+OT1, T1, LY1 and TS1.
+
+Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to
+adjust fontsizes. The type1 option may be used by xelatex
+or lualatex users who prefer to use type1 fonts or to avoid
+fontspec.
+
+Commands \oldstylenums{...} and \liningnums{...} are defined
+to allow for local use of old-style figures or lining
+figures, respectively. Similarly, \tabularnums{...} and
+\proportionalnums{...} allow for local use of monospaced or
+varying-width figures, respectively.
+
+The original fonts are available at
+https://github.com/Fuzzypeg/Coelacanth/tree/master/release
+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 otftotfm (version
+2.103) 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)
