Robert Atkinson. +What makes it different from traditional typography design +is that it focuses on letterform distinction to increase +character recognition, ultimately improving readability. + +To install this package on a TDS-compliant +TeX system download the file +"tex-archive"/install/fonts/atkinson.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). Update the font-map +files by enabling the Map file atkinson.map. + +To use, add + +\usepackage{atkinson} + +to the preamble of your document. This makes Atkinson Hyperlegible the +default sans family. To also set Atkinson Hyperlegible as the main text +font, use + +\usepackage[sfdefault]{atkinson} + +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 +adjust the sans fontsizes to match a serifed font. + +The default figure style is proportional-lining but the +following option may be used to get tabular figures: + +tabular (or t) + +The following allow for localized use of non-default figure +styles: + +\atkinsonLF{...} (proportional lining) +\atkinsonTLF{...} (tabular lining) + +Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, TS1, and LY1. + +The original opentype fonts are available at +https://brailleinstitute.org/freefont and are licensed under +the Atkinson Hyperlegible Font License; the text may be +found in the doc directory. The type1 versions were created +using cfftot1 and named in accordance with the Reserved +Typeface Name condition. 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) |
