This is the README for the ebgaramond package, version 0.14e (2012-12-20).

This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for
the EB Garamond family of fonts, designed by Georg Duffner.

EB Garamond is a revival of the 16th century fonts designed by Claude
Garamont. The source for the letterforms is a scan of a specimen known
as the "Berner specimen", which, composed in 1592 by Conrad Berner,
son-in-law of Christian Egenolff and his successor at the Egenolff print
office, shows Garamont's roman and Granjon's italic fonts at different
sizes. Hence the name of this project: Egenolff-Berner Garamond.

Currently only the upright and italic variants are available. As a
stop-gap, this package provides bold variants produced automatically by
fontforge; these are likely to be buggy, and font metrics will certainly
change when official bold variants become available.

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

To use, add

\usepackage{ebgaramond}

to the preamble of your document. Options include:

oldstyle,osf    old-style figures
lining,nf,lf    lining figures

proportional,p  varying-width figures
tabular,t       fixed-width figures

The defaults are oldstyle and proportional.

Available shapes in all series include:

it              italic
sc              small caps
scit            italic small caps

Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to adjust
fontsizes.

Slanted variants are not supported; the italic variants will be
automatically substituted. Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and
TS1.

Commands \oldstylenums{...} and \liningnums{...} are defined to allow
for local use of old-style figures or lining figures, respectively.
Similarly, \tabularnums{...} and \proportionalnums{...} allow for local
use of monospaced or varying-width figures, respectively.

Superior numbers (for footnote markers) are available using \sufigures
or \textsu{...}. Swash italic capitals (for some letters) are available
using \swshape or \textsw{...}.

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