+============================================================
+ Using the LuxiMono Fonts with LaTeX
+============================================================
+ 2004-01-26

+
+LuxiMono is a family of general-purpose monospaced
+(typewriter) fonts. They are original designs by Kris
+Holmes and Charles Bigelow from Bigelow and Holmes Inc., who
+developed the Luxi typeface designs in Ikarus digital
+format. URW++ Design and Development GmbH converted the
+Ikarus format fonts to TrueType and Type 1 font programs and
+implemented the grid-fitting "hints" and kerning tables in
+the Luxi fonts.
+
+Use of the LuxiMono fonts with LaTeX is supported by means of
+a macro package:
+
+ \usepackage{luximono}
+
+makes LaTeX use LuxiMono as the default typewriter family.
+The Luxi fonts are much larger than many others, when used
+with the same nominal size. This can be fixed by loading
+the package luximono with the option [scaled=...]. For
+instance,
+
+ \usepackage[scaled=0.9]{luximono}
+
+loads the LuxiMono fonts, scaled down to 90% of their
+"natural" size. Omitting the factor, i.e.
+
+ \usepackage[scaled]{luximomo}
+
+selects a default scaling of 87%.
+
+Notice that LuxiMono is supported with T1 (european) and TS1
+(textcompanion) encoding only, so you should issue the
+commands
+
+ \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
+ \usepackage{textcomp}
+
+in the document preamble. The obsolete OT1 encoding, which
+is still the default with LaTeX, is _not_ supported.
