+This is the README for the gillius package, version 2013-11-03.
+
+This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support
+for the Gillius and Gillius No. 2 families of sans serif fonts and
+condensed versions of them, designed by Hirwen Harendal. According
+to the designer, the fonts were inspired by Gill Sans.
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system unzip the
+file tex-archive/install/fonts/gillius.tds.zip 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 gillius.map.
+
+To use, add
+
+\usepackage{gillius}
+
+or
+
+\usepackage{gillius2}
+
+to the preamble of your document. These make Gillius (or
+Gillius No. 2) the default sans family. To also set them as the main
+text font, use the option sfdefault.
+
+LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or who wish
+to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option.
+
+The condensed option loads the condensed variants.
+
+Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to adjust
+fontsizes to match a serifed font.
+
+The only figure style supported is proportional-lining. Font
+encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and TS1.
+
+Commands \gillius, \gilliustwo, \gilliuscondensed and
+\gilliustwocondensed select the specified font family.
+
+The original fonts (version 1.009) were downloaded from
+http://arkandis.tuxfamily.org/adffonts.html and are licensed under
+the GPL License, (version 2 or later), with font exception; the text
+may be found in the doc directory. The type1 versions were created
+using 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 (rdt at cs.queensu.ca)
