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. + +The original fonts are available at +http://www.google.com/webfonts and are licensed under the +Apache License, (version 2); the text may be found in the +doc directory.
