+This is the README for libertine, version 5.3.0 (2012-11-19).
+
+This package provides support for use of the Linux Libertine and Linux
+Biolinum families of fonts with LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, xeLaTeX and luaLaTeX.
+It is intended to replace several existing packages (libertine-type1,
+biolinum-type1, libertine) and should provide partial compatibilty with
+libertineotf and the obsolete libertine-legacy package.
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system unzip the
+file /install/fonts/libertine.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 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. The maintainer of this package is
+Bob Tennent (rdt at cs.queensu.ca)
