This is the README for the cinzel package, version 2022-09-29. This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for the Cinzel and Cinzel Decorative families of fonts, designed by Natanael Gama (www.ndiscovered.com). Cinzel is a typeface inspired in first century roman inscriptions, and based on classical proportions. While it conveys all the ancient history of the latin alphabet it also merges a contemporary feel onto it. Cinzel is all-caps, similar to Trajan and Michelangelo, but is available in three weights (Regular, Bold, Black). There are no italic fonts, but there are Decorative variants, which can be selected by the usual italic-selection commands. To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system, download the file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/cinzel.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). Update the font-map files by enabling the Map file cinzel.map. To use, add \usepackage{cinzel} to the preamble of your document. This will define \cinzel and \textcinzel{...} and \cinzelblack and \textcinzelblack{...} for localized use of Cinzel and the black series, respectively. Cinzel Decorative is treated as the italic shape. To activate Cinzel as the main (serifed) text font and Cinzel Decorative as the "italic" variants, use the "default" option. The "black" option selects the Black variants as the default bold series. LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or who wish to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option. The only figure style is proportional-lining. Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and TS1. The truetype fonts were downloaded from http://www.google.com/webfonts 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 fontforge. 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).
