From e0c6872cf40896c7be36b11dcc744620f10adf1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Norbert Preining Date: Mon, 2 Sep 2019 13:46:59 +0900 Subject: Initial commit --- fonts/fira/README | 82 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 82 insertions(+) create mode 100644 fonts/fira/README (limited to 'fonts/fira/README') diff --git a/fonts/fira/README b/fonts/fira/README new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..7891b18e78 --- /dev/null +++ b/fonts/fira/README @@ -0,0 +1,82 @@ +This is the README for the fira package, version 4.3-2019-06-05. + +This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX +support for the Fira Sans family of fonts (version 4.3) +and the Fira Mono family (version 3.2), designed by Erik +Spiekermann and Ralph du Carrois of Carrois Type Design. +Fira Sans is available in seventeen weights, but six of +these are considered "experimental"; the remaining eleven +weights (with corresponding italics) are supported with +this package: Thin, UltraLight, ExtraLight, Light, Book, +Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold, ExtraBold, Heavy. Fira +Mono is available in three weights (regular, medium, bold); +artificially slanted oblique varints have been generated. + +To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system +download the file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/fira.tds.zip +where the preferred URL for "tex-archive" is +http://mirrors.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 fira.map. + +To use, add + +\usepackage{FiraSans} + +to the preamble of your document. These will activate Fira +Sans as he sans-serif text font. To activate it as the main +text font, use + +\usepackage[sfdefault]{FiraSans} + +Use + +\usepackage{FiraMono} + +to activate Fira Mono as the monospaced text font. The nomap +option will suppress the tex-text mapping of TeX "smart +quotes" and other ligatures into unicode glyphs for xeLaTeX +and luaLaTeX. + +LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or +who wish to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option. + +Options scaled= or scale= may be used to +scale the fonts. + +The default figure style for Fira Sans is +proportional-oldstyle, but the lining (or lf) option will +change the default to lining figures and the tabular (or +tf) option will change the default to tabular (monospaced) +figures. The default for Fira Mono is oldstyle. + +Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, TS1, LY1 and LGR. + +For Fira Sans, the medium, semibold, extrabold and heavy +options activate those series as the default bold series. +The book, light, extralight, ultralight and thin options +activate those series as the default regular series. For +Fira Mono, the medium option activates that series as the +default bold series. + +Commands \firaoldstyle, \firalining, \firatabular, +\firaproportional, \firamonooldstyle and \firamonolining +allow for localized use of non-default figures. Superior +numbers are available using \sufigures. Commands \firathin, +\firalight etc. allow for localized use of those series. + +Commands \firalgr and \firamonolgr allow for localized use +of LGR-encoded type1 fonts. + +The original OpenType fonts were obtained from + +https://github.com/bBoxType/FiraSans + +and are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, version +1.1; 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.
