This is the README for the librebaskerville package, version
2020-07-29.

This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for
the Libre Baskerville family of fonts, designed by Pablo Impallari.
A BoldItalic variant has been artificially generated.

To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the
file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/librebaskerville.tds.zip, where the
preferred URL for "tex-archive" is http://mirror.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
LibreBaskerville.map.

To use, add

\usepackage{librebaskerville}

to the preamble of your document. This will activate Libre Baskerville
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=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to scale the
fonts.

The only figure style supported is proportional-lining. Font encodings
supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and TS1.

Macro \librebaskerville selects the Libre Baskerville family.

The original fonts are available at

https://github.com/impallari/Libre-Baskerville 

and are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, (version
1.1); the text may be found in the doc directory. The
re-named truetype and type1 versions were created using
fontforge. The support files were created using autoinst 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)
