README for Ysabeau font package.

Ysabeau is a free type family developed by Christian Thalmann (Catharsis Fonts). It combines the time-honored and supremely readable letterforms of the Garamond legacy with the clean crispness of a low-contrast sans serif, rendering it well suited for body copy as well as display. Designed from scratch in the comercial font editor Glyphs, the typeface was later distributed under SIL open font license.

This package provides LaTeX font support for traditional TeX engines (pdftex, dvips, on so on).

To use Ysabeau font, just add the line

\usepackage{ysabeau}
