+This is the README for the crimson package,
+version 2017-03-16.
+
+This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
+support for the Crimson Text family of fonts, designed
+by Sebastian Kosch. The Crimson Text family is for book
+production in the tradition of beautiful oldstyle typefaces,
+inspired particularly by the fantastic work of people like
+Jan Tschichold (Sabon), Robert Slimbach (Arno, Minion) and
+Jonathan Hoefler (Hoefler Text).
+
+Support for small caps and old-style numerals is still
+"under construction"; this version of the package does not
+support these features.
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant
+TeX system download the file
+"tex-archive"/install/fonts/crimson.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 crimson.map.
+
+To use, add
+
+\usepackage{crimson}
+
+to the preamble of your document. This will activate Crimson
+Text as the main (serifed) text font.
+
+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 scale the
+fonts.
+
+Option semibold (or sb) will activate the semi-bold variant
+as the default bold face. Localized use of semi-bold is
+available using the \crimsonsemibold command
+
+Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and TS1.
+
+The OpenType fonts were obtained from
+
+https://github.com/skosch/Crimson
+
+in the Desktop Fonts folder
+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 by otftotfm. 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)
