This is the README for the roboto package, version 2022-09-10. This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for the Roboto, RobotoMono, RobotoSlab and RobotoSerif families of fonts, designed by Christian Robertson and Greg Gazdowicz for Google, who say: Roboto (Sans) has a dual nature. It has a mechanical skeleton and the forms are largely geometric. At the same time, the font features friendly and open curves. While some grotesks distort their letterforms to force a rigid rhythm, Roboto doesn't compromise, allowing letters to be settled into their natural width. This makes for a more natural reading rhythm more commonly found in humanist and serif types. Roboto Serif is designed to create a comfortable and frictionless reading experience. Minimal and highly functional, it is useful anywhere (even for app interfaces) due to the extensive set of weights and widths across a broad range of optical sizes. While it was carefully crafted to work well in digital media, across the full scope of sizes and resolutions we have today, it is just as comfortable to read and work in print media. In addition to some condensed variants, there are four weights in a slab-serif family. Roboto and RobotoCondensed have small-capitals. To activate the sans-serif fonts, add \usepackage{roboto} to the preamble of your document. This makes Roboto the default sans family. To also set Roboto as the main text font, use \usepackage[sfdefault]{roboto} Other options include: regular bold medium black light thin condensed Only light, regular and bold weights are available in the condensed sans family. Defaults are regular and bold (uncondensed). Italics (slanted) are available in all variants. rm, slab These options activate the slab-serif variants as the main text font. The weights available are thin, light, regular and bold, but there are no italics. Options scaled= or scale= may be used to adjust the sans fontsizes to match a serifed font. LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or who wish to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option. To activate RobotoMono, use \usepackage{roboto-mono} To activate RobotoSerif, use \usepackage{roboto-serif} The following options are supported: regular bold medium black light thin condensed The default figure style is proportional-lining but the following options may be used to get other styles in Roboto, RobotoSerif and the condensed variants: oldstyle (or osf) tabular (or t) The following allow for localized use of non-default figure styles: \robotoLF{...} \robotoserifLF{...} (proportional lining) \robotoTLF{...} \robotoserifTLF{...} (tabular lining) \robotoOsF{...} \robotoserifOsF{...} (proportional oldstyle) \robotoTOsF{...} \robotoserifTOsF{...} (tabular oldstyle) The following commands allow for localized use of non-default weights: \robotoThin{...} \robotomonoThin{...} \robotoserifThin{...} \robotoLight{...} \robotomonoLight{...} \robotoserifLight{...} \robotoRegular{...} \robotomonoRegular{...} \robotoserifRegular{...} \robotoMedium{...} \robotomonoMedium{...} \robotoserifMedium{...} \robotoBold{...} \robotomonoBold{...} \robotoserifBold{...} \robotoBlack{...} \robotomonoBlack{...} \robotoserifBlack{...} Commands \roboto \robotocondensed \robotoboldcondensed \robotoslab \robotolgr \robotoslablgr \robotomono \robotoserif \robotoserifcondensed \robotoserifboldcondensed select those font families or series. Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, TS1, LY1 and LGR. To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/roboto.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 roboto.map. The original truetype fonts are available at http://www.google.com/webfonts and are licensed under the Apache or OFL licenses; the texts may be found in the doc directory. The opentype and type1 versions were created using fontforge and cfftot1. The support files were created using autoinst and are licensed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License.
