This is the README for the bitter package, version 2019-05-10. This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for the Bitter family of fonts, designed by Sol Matas for Huerta Tipografica (http://www.huertatipografica.com.ar). Bitter is a contemporary slab-serif typeface for text. There are regular and bold weights and an italic, but no bold italic. To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/bitter.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 bitter.map. To use, add \usepackage{bitter} to the preamble of your document. This will activate Bitter as the main (serifed) text font. 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 only figure style is tabular-lining. Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1, and TS1. The original Truetype fonts were obtained from https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Bitter 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 fontforge. The support files were created using autoinst and otftotfm 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)
