This is the README for the forum package, version 2020-07-25. This package provides the Forum fonts, designed by Denis Masharov, for use with xeLaTeX abnd luaLaTeX. Forum has antique, classic "Roman" proportions. It can be used to set body texts and works well in titles and headlines too. It is truly multilingual, with glyphs for Central and Eastern Europe, Baltics, Cyrillic and Asian Cyrillic communities. There is currently just a regular weight. To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/forum.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). To use, add \usepackage{forum} to the preamble of your document. This will activate Forum as the main (serifed) text font. Options scaled= or scale= may be used to scale the fonts. The only figure style is proportional lining. The original Truetype font was obtained from https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Forum and is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, version 1.1; the text may be found in the doc directory. THe rest of the package is licensed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License. The maintainer of this package is Bob Tennent (rdt at cs.queensu.ca)
