-LOFP - Libertine Open Fonts Project
+This is the README for libertine-type1, version 5.3.0 (2012-09-22).
-1. OPEN FONTS PROJECT'S AIMS
-We work on a serif and organic grotesque font-family for practical use in documents. Our project aims at creating a free alternative to the standard W*ndows Font (T*mes).
-But neveretheless Libertine and Biolinum are not a clone of any common font! They have been developed from scratch and go different ways in typography than the Times or Arial. Just the useability and the dimensions shall be similar, Libertine should be even better for typical office use! If you want Times- and Arial-clones go elsewhere. If you just need reliable and good typography give our fonts a chance. If you want to know more about the design of Libertine and Biolinum, have a look at our website.
+This package provides LaTeX and pdfLaTeX support for the Linux Libertine
+family of fonts. It (and the biolinum-type1 package) are intended to
+replace the libertine-legacy package which the original developer
+abandoned and which has several issues that now cannot be addressed.
+XeLaTex and LuaLaTeX users should refer to the libertineotf package.
-2. LICENSE AND OPENSOURCE
-We publish our fonts under the terms of the GPL (see GPL.txt) and OFL (OFL.txt)
--> see also LICENCE.txt!
-The OpenSource-tool Fontforge is used as font editor (see http://fontforge.sf.net).
+To install on a TDS-compliant TeX system unzip the file
+/install/fonts/libertine-type1.tds.zip 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 libertine-type1.map.
-3. FONT FORMATS TTF VS. OTF
-The font files are available as TTF (TrueType) and OTF (OpenType) fonts. The TTF-Family is called
-"Linux Libertine" and "Linux Biolinum"
-and the OTF
-"LinuxLibertine O" and "Linux Biolinum O".
+To use, add
-So that both types can be installed and used parallely.
-Most often TTF is the better supported format though OTF has advances in printing. Decide yourself what is better for your purpose. OpenType-features are equally available in both fonts. Note that OpenOffice doesn’t support OTFs, yet.

-4. THE LINUX BIOLINUM FONT FACE
-Please note: The Biolinum is a very early version. While you use Libertine-Fonts without any warranty anyway, take special care with this young font face.
+to the preamble of your document. Options include:
-5. HINTING
-The TrueType-hinting is a complex technique and our editor FontForge doesn't support full possibilities (but it becomes alot better version by version)...
-Since version 2.7 also the normal TTFs are hinted. If you don't like this, send me a mail. You may also try the OpenTypes (which contain PS-Hintings which are quite good supported by FontForge).

-6. DOWNLOAD AND CONTACT
-We publish our fonts at http://www.linuxlibertine.org/.
+proportional varying-width figures
+tabular fixed-width figures
-7. THE UNDERLINED VARIANT
-Please note: The underlined variant is recently not being maintained because its concept doesn’t seem to be sofware-technically reliable and because of lack of interest.
-The advantage of this font was that g, commas, cedillas... were not overprinted by the line anymore. For technical reasons the space was not underlined but you could use the _ instead. In this font it had the width of the space and the line was at hight of the underline. The underlined variant used an older font outline.
+bold \bfdefault is bold
+semibold \bfdefault is semibold
