+This is the README for the ebgaramond package, version 0.14e (2012-12-20).
+
+This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for
+the EB Garamond family of fonts, designed by Georg Duffner.
+
+EB Garamond is a revival of the 16th century fonts designed by Claude
+Garamont. 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)
