This is the README for the bitter package, version
2022-09-28.

This package provides 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. 

Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to scale the
fonts.

The only figure style is tabular-lining.

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
fonts were generated by fontforge and re-named in compliance
with the Reserved Font Name provision of the OFL license.
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).
