This is the README for the merriweather package, version 2020-07-24.

This package provides the Merriweather and MerriweatherSans
families of fonts, designed by Eben Sorkin, for use with
luaLaTeX and xeLaTeX.

Merriweather features a very large x height, slightly condensed
letterforms, a mild diagonal stress, sturdy serifs and open forms.
The Sans family closely harmonizes with the weights and styles of
the serif family. There are four weights and italics for each.

To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the
file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/merriweather.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). 

To use, add

\usepackage{merriweather}

to the preamble of your document. This will activate Merriweather as the
main (serifed) text font and MerriweatherSans as the sans font. 

To activate Merriweather without MerriweatherSans, use

\usepackage[rm]{merriweather}

Similarly, to activate MerriweatherSans without Merriweather use

\usepackage[sf]{merriweather} 

To use MerriweatherSans as the main text font, use

\usepackage[sfdefault]{merriweather}

This re-defines \familydefault, not \rmdefault. 

Options light, rmlight, sflight, black, rmblack, and sfblack choose
the light or heavy weights instead of the regular and bold weights,
respectively, for both or single families.

Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to scale the
MerriweatherSans fonts; the serifed variants are not affected.

Commands \merriweather and \merriweathersans select the Merriweather
and MerriweatherSans families, respectively. Commands \merriweatherlight,
\merriweatherblack, \merriweathersanslight, and \merriweathersansblack
allow for localized use of light or black variants.

The only figure style supported is proportional semi-oldstyle.

1.1); the text may be found in the doc directory. The rest
