README
This is the README for the cabin package, version 2023-09-25.

This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for
the Cabin and Cabin Condensed families of sans serif fonts, designed by 
Pablo Impallari.

Cabin is a humanist sans with four weights and true italics and small
capitals. According to the designer, Cabin was inspired by Edward
Johnston's and Eric Gill's typefaces, with a touch of modernism. Cabin
incorporates modern proportions, optical adjustments, and some elements
of the geometric sans. A compatible condensed family CabinCondensed is
also available.

To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the
file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/cabin.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 cabin.map.

To use, add

\usepackage{cabin}

to the preamble of your document. This makes Cabin the default sans
family. To also set Cabin as the main text font, use

\usepackage[sfdefault]{cabin}

LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or who wish
to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option.

Other options include:

bold            
semibold        

regular         
medium          

condensed       

Defaults are regular and bold (uncondensed). 

Small caps are available in non-condensed series.

Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to adjust
fontsizes to match a serifed font.

Slanted variants are not supported; the designed italic
variants will be automatically substituted. The only figure
style supported is tabular-lining. Font encodings supported
are OT1, T1, TS1, LY1.

Macros \cabin and \cabincondensed select the Cabin and CabinCondensed
font family, respectively.

The original fonts are available at
https://github.com/impallari/Cabin/ 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 cfftot1. The support files were created using autoinst
