\section{Introduction}

Open Sans is a humanist sans serif typeface designed by Steve
\name{Matteson}. Open Sans was designed with an upright stress, open forms and a
neutral, yet friendly appearance. It was optimized for print, web, and mobile
interfaces, and has excellent legibility characteristics in its letterforms (see
figure~\vref{styles}). This font is available from the Google Font Directory
~\cite{opensans} as TrueType files licensed under the Apache License
version~2.0.

\end{figure}

This package provides support for this font in \LaTeX. It includes Type~1
versions of the fonts, converted for this package using \program{FontForge} from
its sources, for full support with \program{Dvips}.

\section{Installation}

These directions assume that your \TeX{} distribution is
\acronym{TDS}-compliant.

Once the \path|opensans.zip| archive extracted:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Copy \path|doc/|, \path|fonts/|, \path|source/|, and \path|tex/|
  directories to your \path|texmf/| directory (either your local or global
  \path|texmf/| directory).
\item Run \command{mktexlsr} to refresh the file name database and make \TeX{}
  aware of the new files.
\item Run \command{updmap --enable Map=opensans.map} to make \program{Dvips},
  \program{dvipdf} and \program{pdf\TeX} aware of the new fonts.
\end{enumerate}

Note that this package requires the \package{keyval}~\cite{keyval} and
\package{slantsc}~\cite{slantsc} (to handle italic/slanted small caps) ones to
work.

\section{Usage}

\subsection{Calling Open Sans}

You can use the Open Sans font in a \LaTeX{} document by adding the command
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage{opensans}
\end{verbatim}
to the preamble. The package supplies the \code{\char`\\fosfamily} command to
switch the current font to Open Sans.

\subsection{Options}

\subsubsection{Open Sans as default (sans-serif) font}

You can set \LaTeX{} to use Open Sans as standard font throughout the whole
document by passing the \code{default} option to the package:
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[default]{opensans}
\end{verbatim}
To set Open Sans as default sans-serif only:
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[defaultsans]{opensans}
\end{verbatim}

\subsubsection{Font scaling}

The font can be up- and downscale by any factor. This can be used to make Open
Sans more friendly when used in company with other type faces, e.g., to adapt
the x-height. The package option \code{scale=\parameter{ratio}} will scale the
font according to \parameter{ratio} (1.0 by default), for example:
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[scale=0.95]{opensans}
\end{verbatim}

\subsubsection{Figure selection}

Open Sans provides two different figures versions (see table~\vref{figures}):
\begin{itemize}
\item\emph{Lining figures} are designed to match the uppercase letters in size
  and clor; they are used by default.
\item\emph{Text figures} (also known as \emph{old-style figures}) are designed
  to match the lowercase letters.
\end{itemize}

\begin{table}
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{ll}
    \toprule
    lining figures&{\fontfamily{fos}\selectfont 0123456789}\\
    \midrule
    text figures&{\fontfamily{fosj}\selectfont 0123456789}\\
    \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}
  \caption{Comparison between lining figures and text figures}
  \label{figures}
\end{table}

To use text figures by default when calling \code{\char`\\fosfamily}, enable the
\code{osfigures} package option:
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[osfigures]{opensans}
\end{verbatim}
To use Open Sans as default font with text figures:
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[default,osfigures]{opensans}
\end{verbatim}

\subsubsection{Encodings}

The following encodings are supported:
\begin{description}
\item[Latin] OT1, T1, TS1 (partial)
\item[Cyrillic] T2A, T2B, T2C, X2
\item[Greek] LGR (monotonic only)
\end{description}
To use one or another encoding, give the \LaTeX{} name to the \package{fontenc}
package as usual, as in
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{opensans}
\end{verbatim}

Note that, as usual with OT1 encoded fonts, kerning with accented characters is
treated poorly, if at all. Note difference in kerning between these two encoding
in table~\vref{kerning}.
\begin{table}
\centering
  \begin{tabular}{ll}
    \toprule
    OT1-encoded&{\fosfamily Te T\'e}\\
    \midrule
    T1-encoded&{\fosfamily\fontencoding{T1}\selectfont Te T\'e}\\
    \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}
  \caption{Kerning with OT1 and T1 encodings}
  \label{kerning}
\end{table}
It is therefore advised to always use the Open Sans fonts in any encoding than
OT1 when typing diacritics.

\subsection{Available weights and variants}

Table~\vref{nfss} lists the available font series and shapes with their
\acronym{NFSS} classification. Parenthesized combinations are provided via
substitutions.
\begin{table}
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{llll}
    \toprule
    family&encoding&series&shape\\
    \midrule 
    \multirow{4}{*}{fos, fosj}&OT1,T1,&\multirow{4}{*}{l, lc, m, sb, b (bx), eb}&\multirow{3}{*}{n, it (sl), sc, scit (scsl)}\\
    &T2A, T2B, T2C, X2,&&\\
    &LGR&&\\
    \cmidrule{2-2}
    \cmidrule{4-4}
    &TS1&&n, it (sl)\\
    \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}
  \caption{Available font series and shapes for Open Sans; fosj corresponds to the text-figures version of the family}
  \label{nfss}
\end{table}
Notice that the slanted shapes are faked ones, as well as the small capitals
(reduced to 80\%).

Samples of the font are available in the
\href{run:opensans-samples.pdf}{\path|opensans-samples.pdf|} file.
