This is the README for version 2.209 of the variable variant of Peter S. Baker's Junicode fonts. The Junicode font is primarily for scholars and students of the Middle Ages, but it serves users with a wide variety of interests. It tracks the development of the Medieval Unicode Font Initiative (MUFI), with its wealth of specialized medieval characters, but it also provides many OpenType features that allow users to access MUFI characters in accessible ways. This package provides the variable version, in which all the capabilities of the traditional “static” version - and more! - are packaged in just two files. The variable version is especially suitable for web use, but variable fonts can also be used in Adobe InDesign, LibreOffice, LuaTeX, and other text-processing apps (see the file JunicodeManual.pdf for details). This version of Junicode adds more than forty new glyphs for the Ansund project. It also adjusts the slant of proportional old-style figures; fixes an occasional problem with the combining dot accent; fixes a bug in the junicodevf LaTeX package; adds a couple of archaic phonetic characters; and fixes a bug that prevented the correct operation of a shortcut key combination in Adobe InDesign. To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/junicodevf.tds.zip where the preferred URL for "tex-archive" is http://mirrors.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). Load JunicodeVF in the usual way, with \usepackage{junicodevf}. Several options are available: light The weight of the type for the main text is Light instead of Regular. medium The weight of the type for the main text is Medium, somewhat heavier than Regular. semibold The weight of bold type is somewhat lighter than the usual bold. This may be a good choice if you have selected the light option. condensed The width of the type is narrow. Note that bold type cannot be condensed: when this option is selected, any bold type in the text will have normal width. semicondensed The width of the type is narrower than the default but wider than condensed. Note that bold type cannot be semicondensed: when this option is selected, any bold type in the text will have normal width. expanded The width of the type is wide. Note that light type cannot be expanded: using both the light and the expanded options will produce an error. semiexpanded The width of the type is wider than the default but narrower than expanded. Note that light type cannot be semiexpanded: using both the light and the semiexpanded options will produce an error. Selecting Alternate Styles The Junicode font comes in thirty-eight styles: nineteen roman and nineteen italic. You can switch to any of these styles with one of the following commands, which will be self-explanatory if you keep these abbreviations in mind: Sm = Semi, Cond = Condensed, Exp = Expanded. \jBold \jBoldItalic \jCond \jCondItalic \jCondLight \jCondLightItalic \jCondMedium \jCondMediumItalic \jExp \jExpItalic \jExpBold \jExpBoldItalic \jExpMedium \jExpMediumItalic \jExpSmbold \jExpSmboldItalic \jItalic \jLight \jLightItalic \jMedium \jMediumItalic \jRegular \jSmbold \jSmboldItalic \jSmCond \jSmCondItalic \jSmCondLight \jSmCondLightItalic \jSmCondMedium \jSmCondMediumItalic \jSmExp \jSmExpItalic \jSmExpBold \jSmExpBoldItalic \jSmExpMedium \jSmExpMediumItalic \jSmExpSmbold \jSmExpSmboldItalic There are additional commands and options; see JunicodeManual.pdf in the doc directory.
