This is the README for the almendra package, version
2022-09-28.

This package provides the Almendra family of fonts, designed
by Ana Sanfelippo. Almendra is a typeface design based on
calligraphy. Its style is related to the chancery and gothic
hands. There are regular and bold weights with matching
italics. There is also a regular-weight small-caps.

To install this package on a TDS-compliant
TeX system download the file
"tex-archive"/install/fonts/almendra.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 almendra.map.

To use, add

\usepackage{almendra}

to the preamble of your document. This will activate
Almendra as the main (serifed) text font.

Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to
scale the fonts.

The only figure style is proportional oldstyle.

The Truetype fonts were obtained from
