+This is the README for the plex package, version 2019-06-01.
+
+This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
+support for the IBMPlex families of fonts. Serif, Sans,
+Sans-Condensed and Mono families are available in eight
+weights: Regular, Light, ExtraLight, Thin, Bold, Text,
+Medium and SemiBold (with corresponding italics).
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system
+download the file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/plex.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 plex.map.
+
+To use, add any of
+
+\usepackage{plex-serif}
+\usepackage{plex-sans}
+\usepackage{plex-mono}
+
+to the preamble of your document. These will activate
+IBMPlexSerif, IBMPlexSans and/or IBMPlexMono as the serif,
+sans or mono font, respectively. To activate the Sans font
+as the main text font, use
+
+\usepackage[sfdefault]{plex-sans}
+
+LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or
+who wish to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option.
+
+Option scale=<number> may be used to scale the fonts.
+
+Option condensed for plex-sans selects the condensed
+versions as the default. Commands \plexsans and
+\plexsanscondensed allow for local use of the non-default
+sans family. Command \plexsanslgr activates the LGR encoding.
+
+Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, TS1 and LY1 (and LGR
+for plex-sans).
+
+The following options select lighter bold fonts:
+
+ sb semibold
+ mb medium
+ tx text
+
+and the following options select lighter regular fonts:
+
+ l light
+ el extralight
+ t thin
+
+For slightly heavier regular fonts use the options
+
+ txmd textmd
+
+The nomap option to plex-mono will suppress the tex-text
+mapping of TeX "smart quotes" and other ligatures into
+unicode glyphs for xeLaTeX and luaLaTeX.
+
+The OpenType fonts were obtained from
+
+https://github.com/IBM/plex/
+
+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 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 at rdt(at)cs(dot)queensu(dot)ca.
