+This is the README for the accanthis package, version 2013-11-04.
+
+This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support
+for the Accanthis No. 3 family of fonts, designed by Hirwin
+Harendal. This font is suitable as an alternative to fonts such as
+Garamond, Galliard, Horley Old Style, Sabon and Bembo.
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the file
+tex-archive/install/fonts/accanthis.tds.zip and unzip 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 accanthis.map.
+
+To use, add
+
+\usepackage{accanthis}
+
+to the preamble of your document. This will activate Accanthis No. 3
+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 is proportional-lining.
+
+Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and TS1.
+
+Command \accanthis selects the Accanthis No. 3 family.
+
+The original fonts (version 1.008) were obtained from
+
+http://arkandis.tuxfamily.org/adffonts.html
+
+and are licensed under the GPL License (version 2 or later) with
+font exception; the text may be found in the doc directory. The
+type1 versions were created using cfftot1. 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)
