+This is the README for version 2.204 of Peter S. Baker's
+Junicode family of fonts. The Junicode font is primarily
+for scholars and students of the Middle Ages, but it serves
+users with a wide variety of interests. It tracks the
+development of the Medieval Unicode Font Initiative (MUFI),
+with its wealth of specialized medieval characters, but it
+also provides many OpenType features that allow users to
+access MUFI characters in accessible ways.
+
+This package supports the Junicode static fonts for
+XeLaTeX, LuaLaTeX and [pdf]LaTeX. To install this
+package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the file
+"tex-archive"/install/fonts/junicode.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 Junicode.map.
+
+Load Junicode in the usual way, with
+
+ \usepackage{Junicode}.
+
+Several options are available:
+
+light
+
+ The weight of the type for the main text is Light instead
+ of Regular.
+
+medium
+
+ The weight of the type for the main text is Medium,
+ somewhat heavier than Regular.
+
+semibold
+
+ The weight of bold type is somewhat lighter than the usual
+ bold. This may be a good choice if you have selected the
+ light option.
+
+condensed
+
+ The width of the type is narrow. Note that bold type
+ cannot be condensed: when this option is selected, any
+ bold type in the text will have normal width.
+
+semicondensed
+
+ The width of the type is narrower than the default but
+ wider than condensed. Note that bold type cannot be
+ semicondensed: when this option is selected, any bold type
+ in the text will have normal width.
+
+expanded
+
+ The width of the type is wide. Note that light type cannot
+ be expanded: using both the light and the expanded options
+ will produce an error.
+
+
+semiexpanded
+
+ The width of the type is wider than the default but
+ narrower than expanded. Note that light type cannot be
+ semiexpanded: using both the light and the semiexpanded
+ options will produce an error.
+
+fonttype
+
+ The type of font to look for (using XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX):
+ OpenType or TrueType. These font types differ in the way
+ they draw outlines, and their hinting technologies are
+ very different. Values may be otf (the default) or ttf,
+ e.g. \usepackage[fonttype=ttf]{Junicode}
+
+
+The following commands allow local use of specific figure
+styles: \oldstylenums{..}, \liningnums{..}, \tabularnums{..},
+\proportionalnums{..}, \textsu{..}, \textinf{..}.
+
+The following font encodings are supported if type1 fonts
+are used: OT1,T1,TS1,LY1,LGR
+
+Selecting Alternate Styles
+
+The Junicode font comes in thirty-eight styles: nineteen
+roman and nineteen italic. You can switch to any of these
+styles with one of the following commands, which will be
+self-explanatory if you keep these abbreviations in mind:
+Sm = Semi, Cond = Condensed, Exp = Expanded.

+There are additional commands for use with LuaLaTeX and
+XeLaTeX that do nothing more than wrap fontspec commands;
+see junicode-package.pdf in the doc directory.
+
+The otf and ttf fonts have been downloaded from
+

+
+and are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, (version
+1.1); the text may be found in the doc directory.
