This is the README for the ebgaramond package, version 2024-04-23. This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for the EB Garamond family of fonts, designed by Georg Duffner (Regular and Italic) and Octavio Pardo (Bold, Semibold and Extrabold). 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. To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/ebgaramond.tds.zip, where the preferred URL for "tex-archive" is http://mirror.ctan.org. Unzip the archive 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. m, medium medium weight sb, semibold semibold weight eb, extrabold extrabold weight The default weights are regular and bold. Available shapes include: it italic sc small caps scit italic small caps Slanted variants are not supported; the italic variants will be automatically substituted. Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, TS1, and LY1. Options scaled= or scale= may be used to adjust fontsizes. The type1 option may be used by xelatex or lualatex users who prefer to use type1 fonts or to avoid fontspec. 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{...}. Inferior numbers (for subscripts) are available using \infigures or \textinf{...}. Swash italic glyphs (for some letters) are available using \swshape or \textsw{...}. Command \textin{...} produces decorative initials; currently only the following glyphs are available: A, D, F, G, L, N, O, Q, T and X. Command \ebgaramond supports local use of the EB Garamond fonts. The original fonts are available from https://github.com/octaviopardo/EBGaramond12/tree/master/fonts/otf and are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, (version 1.1); the text may be found in the doc directory. Font charts may be found in the doc directory. The type1 versions were created by cfftot1.
