+Domitian font family, version 1.0
+December 11, 2019
+
+The Domitian fonts are a free and open-source OpenType font family, based on
+the Palatino design by Hermann Zapf (1918-2015), as implemented in Palladio,
+the version distributed as part of URW's free Core 35 PostScript fonts (2.0).
+
+Domitian is meant as a drop-in replacement for Adobe's version of Palatino.
+It extends Palladio with small capitals, old-style figures and scientific
+inferiors. The metrics have been adjusted to more closely match Adobe Palatino,
+and hinting has been improved.
+
+Domitian is presently only available in OpenType format. To use it with a
+modern engine such as LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX, simply include in the preamble:
+
+\usepackage{fontspec}
+\setmainfont{Domitian}
+
+No math font is provided, but Domitian works well with newpxmath, like so:
+(This example will use Domitian for text and for math alphabets, and will use
+the mathematical symbols from newpxmath.)
+
+\usepackage{newpxmath}
+\usepackage[Domitian]{mathspec}
+
+For more usage details, see the fontspec and mathfont packages' documentation.
+
+Alternatively, the Euler math fonts are known to go well with this design.
+
+Domitian is licensed under your choice of the GNU Affero GPL 3 (with a font
+exception), the LaTeX Project Public License 1.3c or the SIL Open Font License
+1.1. For more details, see COPYING.
