This archive contains all required files for using Linotype's Sabon
OpenType fonts with LaTeX, with the exception of the fonts itself, which
are _not_ included, and must be purchased from Linotype.


--------------------------   Requirements   --------------------------

A program to convert the OpenType fonts into the Type1 format is
required. The program cfftot1 included in the LCDF Typetools
(http://www.lcdf.org/type/) is recommended, and can be used with one of
the included scripts:
- convert.sh  is a Unix script
- convert.bat is a DOS script


--------------------------   Installation   --------------------------

This describtion assumes a TDS-compliant TeX system.

1) Unpack the archive. The archive contains the following files and
folders:
    lsabon.txt: This file
    scripts/: Scripts for converting the fonts
    texmf/: Folder with all files required by TeX

2) Install the TeX/LaTeX files. The folder "texmf" contains all files
for TeX/LaTeX in their correct position in a virtual texmf-tree,
therefore you only need to move the files to their corresponding
location in your local texmf-tree. Some of the directorys might have to
be created first.

3) Prepare the fonts. Copy the OpenType fonts
    SabonLTStd-Bold.otf
    SabonLTStd-Italic.otf
    SabonLTStd-BoldItalic.otf
    SabonLTStd-Roman.otf
into the "otf" directory in the supplied "scripts" folder.

4) Convert the OpenType fonts. Open a terminal and change into the
"scripts" directory. Then run the following command to convert the
fonts:

    .convert/.sh

For MikTex execute

    convert.bat

5) Install the fonts. The resulting four PFB-files created under 4)
have to be moved to texmf/fonts/type1/linotype/sabon/ in your local
texmf-tree.

6) Update your filename database. If your tex system maintains a
filename database, you might have to update manually now. Please consult
the documentation of your tex system.

7) Enable the map file. Please consult the documentation of your tex
system, how to enable the additional font map "lsb.map", which is
located in texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lsabon/. Under teTeX
3.0 and later, run the following commands:

    texhash
    updmap --enable Map lsb.map

For other distributions, please consult your documentation!


-------------------   Using the fonts with LaTeX   -------------------

The supplied package "lsabon.sty" selects Linotype's Sabon as
the default serif font. As default it loads lining figures. The package
supports the following options:

  osf: Load font with oldstyle figures

  scaled=<scale>: Load font scaled by <scale>.

  commands: Load additional commands for selecting the font styles not
    supported by the LaTeX font management:
      -\osstyle, \textos{...} selects oldstyle figures
      -\lnstyle, \textln{...} selects lining figures
    Those commands are taken from "The Font Installation Guide" by
    Philipp Lehman.

Most of the code used in this package is adapted from packages by Walter
Schmidt.


-----------------------   Shapes and Series   ------------------------

lsb: (with lining figures)
m (roman):      n (normal), it (italic), sc (Smallcaps)
b (bold):       n (normal), it (italic)

lsbj: (with oldstyle figures)
m (roman):      n (normal), it (italic), sc (Smallcaps)
b (bold):       n (normal), it (italic)

All fonts are available only T1 and TS1 encoded, so you should include
the following commands in the preamble of your document:

    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage{textcomp}

Neither OT1 nor LY1 are supported at the moment.
