\title{\scshape\LaTeX\ Support for EB Garamond Fonts}
\author{\Large\swshape Designed by Georg Duffner}

\par\noindent
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.

This package provides \LaTeX, pdf\LaTeX, Xe\LaTeX\ and Lua\LaTeX\ support for
the EB Garamond family of fonts, designed by Georg Duffner.
Currently only upright and italic variants in medium weight are available. 
This project is under heavy development. Don't expect the fonts to
be anywhere near to ready or perfect. Everything might be subject to
change -- from the dots on the i's to the very name of this project and of
the fonts.


To install this package on a TDS-compliant \TeX\ system unzip the file
\begin{list}{}{}\item
\verb|/install/fonts/ebgaramond.tds.zip|
\end{list} at the root of an appropriate \verb|texmf| tree,
likely a personal or local tree. If necessary, update the file-name
database (e.g., \verb|texhash|). Update the font-map files by enabling the Map
file \verb|EBGaramond.map|.

To use, add
\begin{list}{}{}\item
\verb|\usepackage{ebgaramond}|
\end{list}
to the preamble of your document. Options include:
\begin{list}{}{}\item
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\texttt{oldstyle}, \texttt{osf}  &    old-style figures\\
\texttt{lining}, \texttt{nf}, \texttt{lf} &    lining figures
\end{tabular}
\item
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\texttt{proportional}, \texttt{p} &  varying-width figures\\
\texttt{tabular}, \texttt{t} &       fixed-width figures
\end{tabular}
\end{list}
The defaults are \texttt{oldstyle} and \texttt{proportional}.

Available shapes include:
\begin{list}{}{}\item
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\texttt{it}  &             \emph{italic}\\
\texttt{sc} &              \textsc{small caps} \\
\texttt{scit} &            \textsc{\itshape italic small caps}
\end{tabular}
\end{list}
Slanted variants are not supported; the italic variants will be
automatically substituted. Font encodings supported are 
\texttt{OT1}, \texttt{T1}, \texttt{LY1} and
\texttt{TS1}.

Options \verb|scaled=<number>| or \verb|scale=<number>| may be used to adjust
fontsizes. The \texttt{type1} option may be used by Xe\LaTeX\  or Lua\LaTeX\ users
who prefer to use Type~1 fonts or to avoid \texttt{fontspec}.

\begin{sloppypar}
Commands \verb|\oldstylenums{|\ldots\verb|}| and 
\verb|\liningnums{|\ldots\verb|}| are defined to allow
for local use of old-style figures or lining figures, respectively.
Similarly, \verb|\tabularnums{|\ldots\verb|}| and \verb|\proportionalnums{|\ldots\verb|}| allow for local
use of monospaced or varying-width figures, respectively.
Superior numbers (for footnote markers) are available using 
\verb|\sufigures|
or \verb|\textsu{|\ldots\verb|}|. Swash italic glyphs (for some letters) are available
using \verb|\swshape| or \verb|\textsw{|\ldots\verb|}|.
\end{sloppypar}

Command \verb|\textin{|\ldots\verb|}| produces decorative initials; currently
only the following glyphs are available: 
\begin{list}{}{}\huge
\item
\textin{A\quad F\quad G\quad L\quad N\quad O\quad Q\quad T\quad X}
\end{list}

The original fonts are available at
\url{http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/} and are licensed under the SIL
Open Font License, (version 1.1); the text may be found in the \texttt{doc}
directory, which also has glyph charts.
The Type~1 versions were created using \texttt{cfftot1}. The support files were
created using \texttt{autoinst} and are licensed under the terms of the \LaTeX\
Project Public License. The maintainer of this package is Bob Tennent
(\url{rdt@cs.queensu.ca}).
