+This is the README for the merriweather package, version 2019-06-02.
+
+This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for
+the Merriweather and MerriweatherSans families of fonts, designed by
+Eben Sorkin.
+
+Merriweather features a very large x height, slightly condensed
+letterforms, a mild diagonal stress, sturdy serifs and open forms.
+The Sans family closely harmonizes with the weights and styles of
+the serif family. There are four weights and italics for each.
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the
+file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/merriweather.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
+merriweather.map.
+
+To use, add
+
+\usepackage{merriweather}
+
+to the preamble of your document. This will activate Merriweather as the
+main (serifed) text font and MerriweatherSans as the sans font.
+
+To activate Merriweather without MerriweatherSans, use
+
+\usepackage[rm]{merriweather}
+
+Similarly, to activate MerriweatherSans without Merriweather use
+
+\usepackage[sf]{merriweather}
+
+To use MerriweatherSans as the main text font, use
+
+\usepackage[sfdefault]{merriweather}
+
+This re-defines \familydefault, not \rmdefault.
+
+Options light, rmlight, sflight, black, rmblack, and sfblack choose
+the light or heavy weights instead of the regular and bold weights,
+respectively, for both or single families.
+
+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
+MerriweatherSans fonts; the serifed variants are not affected.
+
+Commands \merriweather and \merriweathersans select the Merriweather
+and MerriweatherSans families, respectively. Commands \merriweatherlight,
+\merriweatherblack, \merriweathersanslight, and \merriweathersansblack
+allow for localized use of light or black variants.
+
+The only figure style supported is proportional semi-oldstyle. Font
+encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and TS1.
+
+The original fonts are available at http://www.google.com/webfonts
+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 using fontforge. 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)
