This package, derived from Cardo, provides a Bembo-like font family in otf and pfb format plus LaTeX font support files. As Cardo is licensed under the SIL OFL, so are the font files in this package. All other support files are subject to the LaTeX Project Public License. See http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/licenses.lppl.html for the details of that license. Note that Bembo is a name trademarked by Monotype, and Cardo is a reserved name under the OFL, hence the strange name for this package, drawn from the Berry id for the Bembo font family.

-\section{Background}
+\section{Text effects under \texttt{fontaxes}}
+This package loads the {\tt fontaxes} package in order to access italic small caps. You should pay attention to the fact that {\tt fontaxes} modifies the behavior of some basic \LaTeX\ text macros such as \verb|\textsc| and \verb|\textup|. Under normal \LaTeX, some text effects are combined, so that, for example, \verb|\textbf{\textit{a}}| produces bold italic {\tt a}, while other effects are not, eg, \verb|\textsc{\textup{a}}| has the same effect as \verb|\textup{a}|, producing the letter {\tt a} in upright, not small cap, style. With {\tt fontaxes}, \verb|\textsc{\textup{a}}| produces instead upright small cap {\tt a}. It offers a macro \verb|\textulc| that undoes small caps, so that, eg, \verb|\textsc{\textulc{a}}| produces {\tt a} in non-small cap mode, with whatever other style choices were in force, such as bold or italics.
+
+%\section{Superior figures}
+%The TrueType versions of GaramondNo8 have a full set of superior figures, unlike their PostScript counterparts. The superior figure glyphs in regular weight only have been copied to \texttt{NewG8-sups.pfb} and \texttt{NewG8-sups.afm} and provided with a tfm named \texttt{NewG8-sups.tfm} that can be used by the \textsf{superiors} package to provide adjustable footnote markers. See \textsf{superiors-doc.pdf} (you can find it in \TeX Live by typing \texttt{texdoc superiors} in a Terminal window.) The simplest invocation is
+%\begin{verbatim}
+%\usepackage[supstfm=NewG8-sups]{superiors}
+%\end{verbatim}
+\section{Glyphs in TS\textlf{1} encoding}
+The layout of the TS\textlf{1} encoded Text Companion font, which is fully rendered \emph{in regular style only}, is as follows. See below for the macros that invoke these glyphs. Though shown in regular weight, upright shape only, a reduced set of glyphs are available in all other weights and shapes.

+There is a macro \verb|\textcircled| that may be used to construct a circled version of a single letter using \verb|\textbigcircle|. The letter is always constructed from the small cap version, so, in effect, you can only construct circled uppercase letters: \verb|\textcircled{M}| and \verb|\textcircled{m}| have the same effect, namely \textcircled{M}.

+\section{Historical Background}
Humanist scholar Pietro Bembo, a seminal figure in literature and music of the Italian Renaissance, who later became Cardinal Bembo, wrote an essay in the last decade of the 15th century about his travels to Mt.\ Aetna, which work was published by the Venetian printer Aldus Manutius (whose name gave us \emph{Aldine}) using a new Roman font designed by his punch-cutter, Francesco Griffo that improved on the earlier efforts of Jenson, another printer in Venice. That font seems to have played a similarly seminal r\^ole in typography. It was the direct progenitor of the many Garamond fonts, and has seen numerous modern revivals whose names make use of every known historical connection to the figures named above, such as those of Bembo's lover for a time, Lucrezia Borgia.
The metal form of the Bembo font developed by Stanley Morison for English Monotype in the 1920's was widely used in book printing due to its handsome appearance and readability. Commercial digital versions have not had much love from critics until recently. Adobe's MinionPro and WarnockPro arguably deserve the prizes for the best modern revivals of oldstyle fonts not too distant from Bembo. (Both lack Bembo's tall ascenders and its characteristic overarching f.)
