This is the README for the spectral package, version 2022-09-27. This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for the Spectral family of fonts, designed by Jean-Baptiste Levée at the Production Type digital type design agency. Spectral is a new and versatile serif face available in seven weights of roman and italic, with small caps. To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/spectral.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 spectral.map. To use, add \usepackage{spectral} to the preamble of your document. Options include: oldstyle,osf old-style figures lining,lf lining figures proportional,p varying-width figures tabular,t fixed-width figures The defaults are oldstyle and proportional. el, extralight extralight weight l, light light weight 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 \spectralextralight, \spectrallight, \spectralmedium, \spectralsemibold and \spectralextrabold allow for local use of those series. 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{...}. The original fonts are available from https://github.com/productiontype/Spectral/tree/master/fonts and are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, (version 1.1); the text may be found in the doc directory. The type1 versions were created using fontforge. The support files were created using autoinst (version 20200729) and otftotfm (version 2.108) and are licensed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License.
