If necessary, update +the file-name database (e.g., texhash). Update the font-map files by +enabling the Map file libertine.map. + +For most purposes, simply add + +\usepackage{libertine} + +to the preamble of your document. This will activate Libertine as +the main (serifed) text font and Biolinum as the sans font. It is +recommended that the font encoding be set to T1 or LY1, but the default +OT1 encoding is supported. Available shapes in all series include: + +it italic +sc small caps +scit italic small caps + +Slanted variants are not supported; the designed italic variants will be +automatically substituted. The exception is the bold series of Biolinum, +for which a designed italic is not currently available. An artificially +slanted variant has been generated and treated as if it were italic. + +To activate Libertine without Biolinum, use + +\usepackage[rm]{libertine} + +Similarly, to activate Biolinum without Libertine use + +\usepackage[sf]{libertine} + +To use Biolinum as the main text font (as well as the sans font), +use the option sfdefault (which redefines \familydefault, but not +\rmdefault). + +LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or who wish +to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option; libertine-type1 and +biolinum-type1 wrapper packages are included to provide compatibility +with the older packages. For legacy documents that use only basic +facilities of libertineotf, a similar wrapper script is provided in +the doc/fonts/libertine directory; this may be tested by copying it +to a directory that has priority over the libertineotf.sty in the +libertineotf package. + +The following options are available in all of these: + +oldstyle,osf old-style figures +lining,nf,lf lining figures + +proportional varying-width figures +tabular fixed-width figures + +The defaults are oldstyle and proportional. + +The semibold option will set \bfdefault to sb to allow using the +semi-bold series of Libertine; this has no effect on the Biolinum fonts, +for which there is no semi-bold variant. The options scaled=<number> or +scale=<number> will scale the Biolinum fonts but have no effect on the +Libertine fonts. + +Commands \oldstylenums{...} and \oldstylenumsf{...} are defined to +allow for local use of old-style figures in Libertine and Biolinum, +respectively, if lining is the default, and similarly \liningnums{...} +and \liningnumsf{...}. + +The opentype directory also has several additional fonts which +can be activated using fontspec (in xeLaTeX or luaLaTeX): a +display font (LinLibertine530_DR), a font of large initials +(LinLibertine530_I), a keyboard font (LinBiolinum530_K), and a +monospaced font (LinLibertine530_M). + +The original opentype fonts were created by Philipp H. Poll (gillian at +linuxlibertine.org) and are licensed under the terms of the GNU General +Public License (Version 2, with font exception) and under the terms of +the Open Font License. For details look into the doc directory of the +distribution or at + +http://www.linuxlibertine.org/ + +Three of the Libertine fonts were modified by Michael Sharpe (msharpe at +ucsd.edu) using fontforge to correct minor problems, including adding +three missing ligatures (fl, ffl, ffi) to the bold-italic font. + +Thanks to Herbert Voss, Patrick Gundlach and Silke Hofstra for their +assistance. + +The type1 fonts were created using fontforge. The support files were +created using autoinst. The support files are licensed under the terms +of the LaTeX Project Public License.
