This is the README for biolinum-type1, version 5.3.0 (2012-10-30). This package provides LaTeX and pdfLaTeX support for the Linux Biolinum family of sans serif fonts. It is intended (with libertine-type1) to replace the libertine-legacy package which the original developer abandoned and which has several issues that now cannot be addressed. XeLaTex and LuaLaTeX users should refer to the libertineotf package. To install on a TDS-compliant TeX system unzip the file /install/fonts/biolinum-type1.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 biolinum-type1.map. To use, add \usepackage{biolinum-type1} to the preamble of your document. Options include: oldstyle,osf old-style figures lining,nf lining figures proportional varying-width figures tabular fixed-width figures Defaults are oldstyle and proportional. Available shapes include: it italic (or, when necessary, slanted) sc small caps scit italic (or slanted) small caps A designed bold italic variant is not currently available so we have provided a slanted version of the bold variant, which is treated as if it were italic. Other slanted variants are not supported; the designed italic variants will be automatically substituted. The original opentype fonts used were created by Philipp H. Poll (gillian at linuxlibertine.org) and are licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (Version 2, with font exception) and under the terms of the Open Font License. For details look into the doc directory of the distribution or at http://www.linuxlibertine.org/ The slanted version of the bold variant and the type1 fonts were created by Bob Tennent using fontforge. The support files were created by Bob Tennent using autoinst. The support files are licensed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License.
