+This is the README for the librecaslon package, version 2019-06-24.
+
+This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
+support for the Libre Caslon family of fonts, designed by
+Pablo Impallari.
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant
+TeX system download the file
+"tex-archive"/install/fonts/librecaslon.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 LibreCaslon.map.
+
+To use, add
+
+\usepackage{librecaslon}
+
+to the preamble of your document. This will activate Libre
+Caslon Text as the main (serifed) text font. A bold italic
+variant of Libre Caslon is not currently available; as a
+stopgap, an artificially slanted version has been generated
+and treated as if it were italic.
+
+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.
+
+The default figure style is proportional lining but options
+osf (or oldstyle) and tf (or tabular) allow for use of
+oldstyle and tabular figures, respectively.
+
+Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and TS1.
+
+Macro \librecaslon selects the Libre Caslon Text family.
+Macros \librecaslonLF, \librecaslonOsF and \librecaslonTLF
+allow for local use of lining, oldstyle or tabular figures,
+respectively. \textsu{...} and \textin{...} can be used for
+superior (superscript) and inferior (subscript) figures,
+respectively. Command \useosf switches the default figure
+style to old-style figures; this is primarily for use after
+calling a math package with lining figures as the default.
+
+The original fonts (version 1.002) were obtained from
+
+https://github.com/impallari/Libre-Caslon-Text
+
+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 generated by cfftot1. 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)
