This font is available from the Google Font +Directory~\cite{lato} as TrueType files licensed under the \acronym{OFL} +version~1.1. + +\begin{figure} + \centering + {% + \flafamily% + {\fontseries{el}\selectfont Lato Hairline}\\ + {\fontseries{el}\selectfont\itshape Lato Hairline Italic}\\ + {\fontseries{l}\selectfont Lato Light}\\ + {\fontseries{l}\selectfont\itshape Lato Light Italic}\\ + Lato Regular\\ + {\itshape Lato Italic}\\ + {\bfseries Lato Bold}\\ + {\bfseries\itshape Lato Bold Italic}\\ + {\fontseries{eb}\selectfont Lato Black}\\ + {\fontseries{eb}\selectfont\itshape Lato Black Italic}% + } + \caption{Available styles for Lato} + \label{styles} +\end{figure} + +This package provides support for this font in \LaTeX{}. It includes the +original TrueType fonts, as well as Type~1 versions, converted for this package +using \program{FontForge} for full support with \program{Dvips}. + +\section{Installation} + +These directions assume that your \TeX{} distribution is +\acronym{TDS}-compliant. + +Once the \path|lato.zip| archive extracted: +\begin{enumerate} +\item Copy \path|doc/|, \path|fonts/|, \path|source/|, and \path|tex/| + directories to your \path|texmf/| directory (either your local or global + \path|texmf/| directory). +\item Run \command{mktexlsr} to refresh the file name database and make \TeX{} + aware of the new files. +\item Run \command{updmap --enable Map lato.map} to make \program{Dvips}, + \program{dvipdf} and \program{pdf\TeX} aware of the new fonts. +\end{enumerate} + +Note that this package requires the \package{keyval}~\cite{keyval} and +\package{slantsc}~\cite{slantsc} (to handle italic/slanted small caps) ones to +work. + +\section{Usage} + +\subsection{Calling Lato} + +You can use the Lato font in a \LaTeX{} document by adding the command +\begin{verbatim} +\usepackage{lato} +\end{verbatim} +to the preamble. The package supplies the \code{\char`\\flafamily} command to +switch the current font to Lato. + +\subsection{Options} + +\subsubsection{Lato as default (sans-serif) font} + +You can set \LaTeX{} to use Lato as standard font throughout the whole document +by passing the \code{default} option to the package: +\begin{verbatim} +\usepackage[default]{lato} +\end{verbatim} +To set Lato as default sans-serif only: +\begin{verbatim} +\usepackage[defaultsans]{lato} +\end{verbatim} + +\subsubsection{Font scaling} + +The font can be up- and downscale by any factor. This can be used to make Lato +more friendly when used in company with other type faces, e.g., to adapt the +x-height. The package option \code{scale=\parameter{ratio}} will scale the font +according to \parameter{ratio} (1.0 by default), for example: +\begin{verbatim} +\usepackage[scale=0.95]{lato} +\end{verbatim} + +\subsection{Encodings} + +The following encodings are supported: +\begin{center} + OT1, T1, TS1 (partial) +\end{center} +To use one or another encoding, give the \LaTeX{} name to the \package{fontenc} +package as usual, as in +\begin{verbatim} +\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} +\usepackage{lato} +\end{verbatim} + +Note that, as usual with OT1 encoded fonts, kerning with accented characters is +treated poorly, if at all. Note difference in kerning between these two encoding +in table~\vref{kerning}. +\begin{table} + \centering + \begin{tabular}{ll} + \toprule + OT1-encoded&{\flafamily To Ta T\'e}\\ + \midrule + T1-encoded&{\flafamily\fontencoding{T1}\selectfont To Ta T\'e}\\ + \bottomrule + \end{tabular} + \caption{Kerning with OT1 and T1 encodings} + \label{kerning} +\end{table} +It is therefore advised to always use the Lota fonts in any encoding than OT1 +when typing diacritics. + +\subsection{Available weights and variants} + +Table~\vref{nfss} lists the available font series and shapes with their +\acronym{NFSS} classification. Parenthesized combinations are provided via +substitutions. +\begin{table} + \centering + \begin{tabular}{llll} + \toprule + family&encoding&series&shape\\ + \midrule + \multirow{2}{*}{fla}&OT1, T1&\multirow{2}{*}{el, l, m, b (bx), eb}&n, it (sl), sc, scit (scsl)\\ + \cmidrule{2-2} + \cmidrule{4-4} + &TS1&&n, it (sl)\\ + \bottomrule + \end{tabular} + \caption{Available font series and shapes for Lato} + \label{nfss} +\end{table} +Notice that the small capitals are faked ones (reduced to 80\%). + +Samples of the font are available in the +\href{run:lato-samples.pdf}{\path|lato-samples.pdf|} file. + +\section{Known bugs and improvements} + +Please send bug reports and suggestions about the Lato \LaTeX{} support to +\href{mailto:melmorabity@fedoraproject.org}{Mohamed \name{El~Morabity}}. + +\subsection{Small dotless ``j''} + +The Lato font files do not provide any dotless ``j'' glyph. This \LaTeX{} +support provides a faked one ({\flafamily\j}), available by typing +\code{\char`\\j}, and built using the \command{t1dotlessj} command (from +LCDF~Typetools~\cite{lcdf}). + +\section{License} + +This package is released under the \LaTeX{} project public license, either +version~1.3c or above~\cite{lppl}.
