+This is the README for the fira package, version 2014-03-16.
+
+This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support
+for the Fira Sans family of fonts (version 2.001), designed by Erik
+Spiekermann and Ralph du Carrois of Carrois Type Design. Fira Sans
+is available in four weights with corresponding italics: light,
+regular, medium, and bold.
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the
+file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/fira.tds.zip where the preferred
+URL for "tex-archive" is http://mirrors.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 fira.map.
+
+To use, add
+
+\usepackage{FiraSans}
+
+to the preamble of your document. These will activate Fira Sans as
+the sans-serif text font. To activate it as the main text font, use
+
+\usepackage[sfdefault]{FiraSans}
+
+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 default figure style is proportional-oldstyle, but the lining
+(or lf) option will change the default to lining figures and
+the tabular (or tf) option will change the default to tabular
+(monospaced) figures.
+
+Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and TS1.
+
+The medium option activates that series as the default bold series.
+The light option activates that series as the default regular
+series.
+
+Commands \firaoldstyle, \firalining, \firatabular, and
+\firaproportional allow for localized use of non-default figures.
+Superior numbers are available using \sufigures. Commands \firalight
+and \firamedium allow for localized use of those series.
+
+The original OpenType fonts were obtained from
+
+https://github.com/buildingfirefoxos/Building-Blocks/tree/gh-pages/fonts/FiraSans
+
+and are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, version 1.1;
+the text may be found in the doc directory. The type1 versions
+were created using autoinst. 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)
