+librisadf
+---------
+
+librisadf consists of:
+1. the Libris ADF Std fonts developed by Hirwen Harendel, Arkandis Digital
+Foundry (ADF) and released under the terms set out in the files COPYING and
+NOTICE.txt in postscript type 1 format;
+2. (La)TeX support by Clea F. Rees released under the LPPL. All files covered
+by the LPPL are listed in the file manifest.txt.
+
+Information and resources concerning Libris ADF, including opentype versions
+of the fonts, and other ADF fonts can be found on the foundry's homepage:
+ http://arkandis.tuxfamily.org/
+
+(La)TeX Support
+---------------
+
+For details, please see librisadf.pdf.
+
+The (La)TeX support uses modified T1 encodings. The regular version reassigns
+certain slots which would otherwise be empty due to missing glyphs. The
+"swash" version reassigns additional slots so that certain glyphs are not
+accessible when the swash variant is active even though they are provided by
+the font. To access these glyphs, ensure that the regular version of the font
+is active. For details of the modifications, see comments in t1-libris.etx and
+t1-librisswash.etx. For a full list of the reassigned slots and of the
+characters normally available in T1 but not in these encodings, see
+librisadf.pdf.
+
+The (La)TeX support requires nfssext-cfr.sty. This file is available from
+CTAN.
+
+To use the fonts in a LaTeX document, add
+ \usepackage{libris}
+to your preamble. This will set the default sans-serif family to Libris ADF
+Std. To use this as the default font, add the line
+ \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
+to your preamble.
+
+To use the "swash" variant which provides some alternative characters and
+additional ligatures, use
+ \swashstyle
+to set this as default until further notice or
+ \textswash{Hello!}
+to typeset just the text "Hello!" in this style.
+
+The (La)TeX support should be considered somewhat experimental. If you find
+any problems, please let me know and I will try to correct them. If you can
+send a fix, so much the better.
+
+Contact Details
+---------------
+
+If you have comments about the fonts themselves, please contact Hirwen
+Harendal (harendalh <at> hotmail <dot> com).
