+This is the README for libertine, version 5.3.0 (2019-05-20).
+
+This package provides support for use of the Linux Libertine and Linux
+Biolinum families of fonts with LaTeX. Most features are usable with
+LaTeX and dvips, pdfLaTeX, xeLaTeX and luaLaTeX, but some features are
+only usable with xeLaTeX or luaLaTeX. This package compatibly replaces
+several earlier packages (libertine-type1, biolinum-type1, libertine)
+and should provide partial compatibility with the obsolete libertineotf
+and libertine-legacy packages.
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download
+the file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/libertine.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 texmf). Update the font-map files by enabling the Map file
+libertine.map.
+
+For most purposes, simply add
+
+\usepackage{libertine}
+
+to the preamble of your document. This will activate Libertine as the
+main (serifed) text font, Biolinum as the sans font and LibertineMono
+as the monospaced font. It is recommended that the font encoding be set
+to T1 or LY1, but the default OT1 encoding is also supported. Available
+shapes in all series (except tt) include:
+
+it italic
+sc small caps
+scit italic small caps
+
+Slanted variants are not supported; the designed italic variants will be
+automatically substituted. The exception is the bold series of Biolinum,
+for which a designed italic is not currently available. An artificially
+slanted variant has been generated and treated as if it were italic.
+
+To activate Libertine (without Biolinum), use the libertine (or rm)
+option. Similarly, to activate Biolinum (without Libertine), use the
+biolinum (or sf or ss) option. To use Biolinum as the main text font
+(as well as the sans font), use the option sfdefault. To suppress
+activating LibertineMono, use mono=false (or tt=false). To activate
+single font families, use one or more of
+
+\usepackage{libertineRoman}
+\usepackage{libertineMono}
+\usepackage{biolinum}
+
+For more advanced usage, please see the libertine.pdf document.
+
+For compatible mathematics, it is recommended to use
+
+\usepackage[libertine]{newtxmath}
+
+with [pdf]LaTeX and
+
+ \usepackage{unicode-math}
+ \setmathfont[Scale=MatchUppercase]{libertinusmath-regular.otf}
+
+with xeLaTeX or luaLaTeX.

+
+The Glyph and KeyCap support was adapted from the original libertine
+package by Michael Niedermair.
+
+Three of the Libertine fonts were modified by Michael Sharpe (msharpe at
+ucsd.edu) using fontforge to correct minor problems, including adding
+three missing ligatures (fl, ffl, ffi) to the bold-italic font.
+
+The type 1 fonts were created using cfftot1 or fontforge. The support
+files were created using autoinst. The support files are licensed under
+the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License.
