This is the README for the ebgaramond package, version 0.15 (2013-05-22).

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 upright and italic variants in medium weight are available. 

To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system unzip the
file tex-archive/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 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, LY1 and
TS1.

Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> 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{...}. 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.

A configuration file for microtype usage is included.
