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

This package provides the Quattrocento and Quattrocento Sans
families of fonts designed by Pablo Impallari, for use with
XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. Because of licensing restrictions,
[pdf]LaTeX support and type1 fonts have been removed.

Quattrocento is a classic typeface with wide and open
letterforms, and great x-height, which makes it very legible
for body text at small sizes. Tiny details that only show
up at bigger sizes make it also great for display use.
Quattrocento Sans is the perfect sans-serif companion for
Quattrocento.

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

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

To activate Quattrocento without Quattrocento Sans, use

\usepackage[rm]{quattrocento}

Similarly, to activate Quattrocento Sans without Quattrocento use

\usepackage[sf]{quattrocento} 

To use Quattrocento Sans as the main text font, use

\usepackage[sfdefault]{quattrocento}

This re-defines \familydefault, not \rmdefault. 

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

The only figure style supported is proportional-lining. 

Macros \quattrocento and \quattrocentosans select the Quattrocento
and Quattrocento Sans families, respectively.

The fonts are available at http://www.google.com/webfonts
and are 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)
