This is the README for the cabin package, version 2012-11-02.

This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for
the Cabin family of sans serif fonts, designed by Pablo Impallari.

Cabin is a humanist sans with four weights and true italics and small
capitals. According to the designer, Cabin was inspired by Edward
Johnston's and Eric Gill's typefaces, with a touch of modernism. Cabin
incorporates modern proportions, optical adjustments, and some elements
of the geometric sans.

To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system unzip the file
/install/fonts/cabin.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 cabin.map.

To use, add

\usepackage{cabin}

to the preamble of your document. Options include:

bold            \bfdefault is bold
semibold        \bfdefault is semibold

regular         \mddefault is regular
medium          \mddefault is medium

Defaults are regular and bold.

Available shapes in all series include:

it              italic
sc              small caps
scit            italic small caps

Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and TS1.
If the xkeyval package is installed, a scaled=... option may be used.
Slanted variants are not supported; the designed italic variants will
be automatically substituted. The only figure style supported is
tabular-lining.

The original fonts are available at http://www.google.com/webfonts and
are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, (version 1.1); the text
may be found in the doc directory. The opentype and 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)
