This is the README for the charissil package, version 6.001,
release 2021-08-19.

This package provides the CharisSIL and
CharisSIL-LiteracyCompact families of TrueType fonts adapted
by SIL International from Bitstream Charter. Because of the
Reserved Font Name licensing restrictions, type1 versions
are not available and documents must be processed using
xelatex or lualatex.

To install this package on a TDS-compliant
TeX system download the file
"tex-archive"/install/fonts/charissil.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{CharisSIL}

or

\usepackage{CharisSILCompact}

to the preamble of your document. This will activate
CharisSIL or CharisSIL-LeteracyCompact, respectively as
the main (serifed) text font. Regular, Italic, Bold and
BoldItalic styles are available. The only figure style is
tabular-lining.

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

The fonts are licensed under the SIL Open Font License,
version 1.1, with Reserved Font Names "Charis" and "SIL".
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).
