The kpfonts-otf package

Description

kpfonts-otf is meant as a replacement, for LuaLaTeX and XeLaTeX users, of Christophe Caignaert’s kpfonts package. Christophe’s Type1 fonts have been converted to OpenType using fontforge and Adobe's AFDKO bundle. The package is still experimental, bug reports and suggestions are welcome.

Contents

• the font/ directory holds 21 OpenType fonts (16 for text and 5 for maths);
• the tex/ directory holds the style file kpfonts-otf.sty and fontspec configuration files;
• the doc/ directory holds documentation in English and French and a table of available maths symbols comparing kpfonts-otf to LatinModern, STIXTwo, Erewhon, TeXGyreTermes, Garamond and Libertinus.

Installation

This package is meant to be installed automatically by TeXLive, MikTeX, etc. Otherwise, kpfonts-otf can be installed under TEXMFHOME or TEXMFLOCAL, f.i.

• alls fonts (fonts/*.otf files) in directory texmf-local/fonts/opentype/public/kpfonts-otf/
• style and fontspec files (tex/kpfonts-otf.sty and tex/*.fontspec) in directory texmf-local/tex/latex/kpfonts-otf/
• documentation (from doc/ directory) in texmf-local/doc/fonts/public/kpfonts-otf/

Don't forget to rebuild the file database (mktexlsr or so) if you install under TEXMFLOCAL.

Finally, you may want to make the system font database aware of the kpfonts-otf fonts (fontconfig under Linux).
