The source for the letterforms is a scan of a specimen known +as the "Berner specimen", which, composed in 1592 by Conrad Berner, +son-in-law of Christian Egenolff and his successor at the Egenolff print +office, shows Garamont's roman and Granjon's italic fonts at different +sizes. Hence the name of this project: Egenolff-Berner Garamond. + +Currently only the upright and italic variants are available. As a +stop-gap, this package provides bold variants produced automatically by +fontforge; these are likely to be buggy, and font metrics will certainly +change when official bold variants become available. + +To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system unzip the file +/install/fonts/ebgaramond.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 EBGaramond.map. + +To use, add + +\usepackage{ebgaramond} + +to the preamble of your document. Options include: + +oldstyle,osf old-style figures +lining,nf,lf lining figures + +proportional,p varying-width figures +tabular,t fixed-width figures + +The defaults are oldstyle and proportional. + +Available shapes in all series include: + +it italic +sc small caps +scit italic small caps + +Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to adjust +fontsizes. + +Slanted variants are not supported; the italic variants will be +automatically substituted. Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and +TS1. + +Commands \oldstylenums{...} and \liningnums{...} are defined to allow +for local use of old-style figures or lining figures, respectively. +Similarly, \tabularnums{...} and \proportionalnums{...} allow for local +use of monospaced or varying-width figures, respectively. + +Superior numbers (for footnote markers) are available using \sufigures +or \textsu{...}. Swash italic capitals (for some letters) are available +using \swshape or \textsw{...}. + +The original fonts are available at +http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/ and are licensed under the SIL +Open Font License, (version 1.1); the text may be found in the doc +directory. The bold and type1 versions were created using fontforge. +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) + +2012-12-20 |
