This is the README for the accanthis package, version 2022-10-28. This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for the Accanthis No. 3 family of fonts, designed by Hirwin Harendal. This font is suitable as an alternative to fonts such as Garamond, Galliard, Horley Old Style, Sabon and Bembo. To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the file tex-archive/install/fonts/accanthis.tds.zip and unzip 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 accanthis.map. To use, add \usepackage{accanthis} to the preamble of your document. This will activate Accanthis No. 3 as the main (serifed) text font. LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or who wish to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option. Options scaled= or scale= may be used to scale the fonts. The only figure style is proportional-lining. Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and TS1. Command \accanthis selects the Accanthis No. 3 family. The original fonts (version 1.008) were obtained from http://arkandis.tuxfamily.org/adffonts.html and are licensed under the GPL License (version 2 or later) with font exception; the text may be found in the doc directory. The type1 versions were created using cfftot1. The support files were created using autoinst and are licensed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License. The maintainer of this package is Bob Tennent (rdt at cs.queensu.ca)
