The name Cochineal is intended to suggest that, while it is crimson, there may be bugs involved. More than 1500 glyphs were added to Crimson, allowing a more than a modest chance that some poor spacing or kerning or accent placement might have been introduced. Such problems will occur in the less frequented parts of the fonts, and I would appreciate reports of problems you may discover. You are unlikely to trip over issues if you stay within the bounds of, say, the T$1$ encoding. I did correct problems in a number of glyphs from Crimson that FontForge uncovered and that could have led to poor rendition on some platforms, especially OS X. I also changed the emsize to {\tt 1000} (the standard for PostScript-flavored Opentype) from the Crimson value of {\tt 1024} and rescaled accordingly. +Cochineal is a fork of Crimson, a remarkable creation of Sebastian Kosch inspired by oldstyle font designers.

(Crimson provided semibold weights but with only limited coverage, which I did not wish to extend as this would have required the creation of about 2000 additional glyphs. Bob Tennent's {\tt Crimson} package does support semibold and the other styles, though without my additions.) +Cochineal provides {\tt Roman}, {\tt Bold}, {\tt Italic} and {\tt BoldItalic}.

Bob Tennent's {\tt Crimson} package does support semibold and the other styles, though without my glyph additions.) \textsc{Package Features:}\\ In addition to the encodings {\tt OT1}, {\tt T1}, {\tt TS1}, {\tt LY1} in general use by Western European (and some Eastern European) scripts, the package also offers {\tt LGR} with full support for monotonic, polytonic and some ancient Greek, and {\tt T2A} and {\tt OT2} Cyrillic support. All allow a choice from four figure styles---{\tt TLF} (tabular lining figures, monospaced and uppercase), {\tt LF} (proportional lining figures, uppercase), {\tt TOsF} (tabular oldstyle figures, monospaced and lowercase) and {\tt OsF} (proportional oldstyle figures, lowercase). The encodings {\tt OT1}, {\tt T1}, {\tt TS1}, {\tt LY1} offer \textsc{Small Caps}, even \textsc{\textit{Italics Small Caps}}, and additional figure styles---superiors, inferiors and denominators. These features are available from either \verb|fontspec| or from [pdf]\LaTeX. In \LaTeX, you access these through the macros \verb|\textsu|, \verb|\textin| and \verb|\textde|, or through their font-switching equivalents \verb|\sufigures|, \verb|\infigures| and \verb|\defigures|.
