+This is the README for the roboto package, version
+2014-07-17.
+
+This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
+support for the Roboto, RobotoCondensed and RobotoSlab
+families of fonts, designed by Christian Robertson for
+Google, who says:
+
+ Roboto has a dual nature. It has a mechanical skeleton
+ and the forms are largely geometric. At the same time,
+ the font features friendly and open curves. While some
+ grotesks distort their letterforms to force a rigid
+ rhythm, Roboto doesn't compromise, allowing letters to be
+ settled into their natural width. This makes for a more
+ natural reading rhythm more commonly found in humanist and
+ serif types.
+
+In addition to some condensed variants, there are four
+weights in a slab-serif family.
+
+To install this package on a TDS-compliant
+TeX system download the file
+"tex-archive"/install/fonts/roboto.tds.zip, where the
+preferred URL for "tex-archive" is http://mirror.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 roboto.map.
+
+To use, add
+
+\usepackage{roboto}
+
+to the preamble of your document. This makes Roboto the default sans
+family. To also set Roboto as the main text font, use
+
+\usepackage[sfdefault]{roboto}
+
+LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or who wish
+to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option.
+
+Other options include:
+
+regular
+bold
+medium
+black
+light
+thin
+
+These are implemented by defining macros recognized
+by commands defined in the mweights package (without
+re-defining \bfdefault or \mddefault).
+
+condensed
+
+Only light, regular and bold weights are available in the
+condensed family.
+
+Defaults are regular and bold (uncondensed).
+
+Italics (slanted) are available in all variants.
+
+rm
+
+This option activates the slab-serif variants as the main
+text font. The weights available are thin, light, regular
+and bold, but there are no italics.
+
+Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to
+adjust the sans fontsizes to match a serifed font.
+
+The only figure style supported is tabular-lining. Font
+encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and TS1.
+
+Commands \roboto, \robotocondensed, and \robotoslab select
+the Roboto, RobotoCondensed, and RobotoSlab font family,
+respectively.
+
+The original fonts are available at
+http://www.google.com/webfonts and are licensed under the
+Apache License, (version 2); the text may be found in
+the doc directory. The 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)
