+This is the README for the roboto package, version
+2019-06-03.
+
+This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
+support for the Roboto, RobotoCondensed, RobotoMono and
+RobotoSlab families of fonts, designed by Christian
+Robertson for Google, who says:
+
+ Roboto has a dual nature. It has a mechanical skeleton
+ and the forms are largely geometric. At the same time,
+ the font features friendly and open curves. While some
+ grotesks distort their letterforms to force a rigid
+ rhythm, Roboto doesn't compromise, allowing letters to be
+ settled into their natural width. This makes for a more
+ natural reading rhythm more commonly found in humanist and
+ serif types.
+
+In addition to some condensed variants, there are four
+weights in a slab-serif family. Roboto and RobotoCondensed
+have small-capitals.
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant
+TeX system download the file
+"tex-archive"/install/fonts/roboto.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 roboto.map.
+
+To use, add
+
+\usepackage{roboto}
+
+to the preamble of your document. This makes Roboto the
+default sans family. To also set Roboto as the main text
+font, use
+
+\usepackage[sfdefault]{roboto}
+
+To use RobotoMono, add
+
+\usepackage{roboto-mono}
+
+LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or
+who wish to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option.
+
+Other options include:
+
+regular
+bold
+medium
+black
+light
+thin
+
+These are implemented by defining macros recognized
+by commands defined in the mweights package (without
+re-defining \bfdefault or \mddefault).
+
+condensed
+
+Only light, regular and bold weights are available in the
+condensed family.
+
+Defaults are regular and bold (uncondensed).
+
+Italics (slanted) are available in all variants.
+
+rm
+
+This option activates the slab-serif variants as the main
+text font. The weights available are thin, light, regular
+and bold, but there are no italics.
+
+Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to
+adjust the sans fontsizes to match a serifed font.
+
+The default figure style is proportional-lining but the
+following options may be used to get other styles (in
+Roboto and RobotoCondensed):
+
+oldstyle (or osf)
+tabular (or t)
+
+The following allow for localized use of non-default figure
+styles:
+
+\robotoLF{...} (proportional lining)
+\robotoTLF{...} (tabular lining)
+\robotoOsF{...} (proportional oldstyle)
+\robotoTOsF{...} (tabular oldstyle)
+
+The following commands allow for localized use of
+non-default weights:
+
+\robotoThin{...} \robotomonoThin{...}
+\robotoLight{...} \robotomonoLight{...}
+\robotoRegular{...} \robotomonoRegular{...}
+\robotoMedium{...} \robotomonoMedium{...}
+\robotoBold{...} \robotomonoBold{...}
+\robotoBlack{...} \robotomonoBlack{...}
+
+Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, TS1, LY1 and LGR.
+
+Commands \roboto, \robotocondensed, \robotoboldcondensed,
+\robotoslab, \robotolgr, \robotoslablgr and \robotomono select
+those font families or series.
