-This is the README file for the LaTeX2e package `libgreek',
-version 1.0, 2011/03/14
+ This is the README file for the LaTeX2e package
+ `libgreek', version 1.1 of 2022/11/11.
-\usepackage{libgreek} for using the Linux-Libertine font for
-the Greek letters in math mode.
+ Copyright (C) 2011-2012, 2022 Jean-Francois Burnol.
-\usepackage[biolinum]{libgreek} for using the Biolinum font
-instead.
+ This Work may be distributed and/or modified
+ under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License,
+ version 1.3c. The latest version of this license is in
+ http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
+ and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of
+ LaTeX version 2003/12/01 or later.
-The fonts themselves and their LaTeX support files as
-provided in the libertine-legacy (or earlier libertine)
-package must be present on the system.
+ This Work includes libgreek.sty, libgreek-legacy.sty, as
+ well as the documentation libgreek.pdf, this README and
+ the source file libgreek.dtx.
-Other options are of the key=value type:
+With \usepackage{libgreek} the Greek letters in math mode
+will be extracted from font support files included with the
+`libertinus-type1' package maintained by Bob Tennent.
-style=TeX: lowercase Greek italic and uppercase upright,
-style=ISO: lowercase and uppercase italic,
-style=French: lowercase and uppercase upright.
+The shape of the Greek letters are configured via package
+options, and they also come in \...up and \...it variants.
-See the pdf documentation for the further options.
-Compile or look at libgreekcheck.tex to see the available
-Greek macros in math mode.
+On old systems having kept the now obsolete `libertine-legacy'
+(also maintained by Bob Tennent), `libgreek' will hand over
+automatically to a secondary package `libgreek-legacy' which
+for backwards compatibility is almost identical to the initial
+1.0 release of 2011/03/14 of `libgreek'. This legacy mode
+does not provide the \...up and \...it control sequences.

+Manual installation:
+-------------------
- The files of this package may be distributed and/or modified
- under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License,
- either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any
- later version.
+Execute This creates
+
+ etex libgreek.dtx libgreek.sty
+ libgreek-legacy.sty
+ libgreek.tex
- The latest version of this license is in
- http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
- and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of
- LaTeX version 2003/12/01 or later.
+The first two are the package files. The last one is for
+building the PDF documentation.
+
+To build the PDF:
+
+ latexmk libgreek.tex
+ dvipdfmx libgreek.dvi
+
+********** This is possible only on a system with the
+********** libertine-legacy package available to LaTeX.
+
+The PDF documentation then includes the commented source code.
+
+It is possible to run latex + dvipdfmx, pdflatex, lualatex, or
+xelatex directly on libgreek.dtx rather than on libgreek.tex.
+The PDF will then not included the commented source code.
+
+Whether with or without source code, PDF produced via latex +
+dvipdfmx or xelatex has smaller size than the one from
+pdflatex or lualatex due to font compression differences.
