\title{The STEP fonts}
\date{Version 2.0.5\\\today}
\author{Daniel~Benjamin Miller\thanks{\texttt{dbmiller@dbmiller.org}}}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
The STEP fonts are a free Times-like (i.e., Times replacement) font family, implementing a design first created for \textit{The Times} of London in 1932. These fonts are meant to be compatible in design with Adobe's digitization of Linotype Times, which is commonly used in desktop publishing.

\section{Usage}
To use the STEP fonts, load the \LaTeX\ package \texttt{step}, optionally with \texttt{stix} for math.
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage{step}\usepackage[notext]{stix}
\end{verbatim}

To get superior figures in text, add:
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[supstfm=STEP-Regular-sup-t1]{superiors}
\end{verbatim}

If you are using \hologo{LuaLaTeX} or \hologo{XeLaTeX}, you may use the Unicode version of STEP with \texttt{fontspec}, along with XITS for math (using \texttt{unicode-math}).
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage{fontspec,unicode-math}\setmainfont[]{STEP}
\setmathfont[StylisticSet=0]{XITS Math}
\setmathfont[range={\mathcal,\mathbfcal},StylisticSet=1]{XITS Math}
\end{verbatim}
When using \texttt{fontspec}, all font options are handled according to that package's functions. See its documentation for details.
\subsection{Package options}
\begin{tabular}{@{} ll @{}}
\toprule
Package Option &amp; Feature \\
\midrule
\texttt{lining} &amp; Use lining figures (default) \lining{1234567890}\\
\texttt{oldstyle} &amp; Use old-style figures \oldstyle{1234567890}\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\subsection{Text Commands}
\begin{tabular}{@{} ll @{}}
\toprule
Text Command &amp; Feature \\
\midrule
\texttt{\textbackslash lining\{\}} &amp; Use lining figures \lining{1234567890}\\
\texttt{\textbackslash oldstyle\{\}} &amp; Use old-style figures \oldstyle{1234567890}\\
\texttt{\textbackslash textsc\{\}} &amp; Use small caps (regular font only) \textsc{abcde\$\&amp;}\\
\texttt{\textbackslash textsu\{\}} &amp; Use superior figures \textsu{1234567890}\\
\texttt{\textbackslash textin\{\}} &amp; Use inferior figures \textin{1234567890}\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\subsection{Greek text fonts}
As a matching Greek text font, I recommend using \texttt{txfontsb} or \texttt{tempora}, which provide good support for monotonic and polytonic Greek, or the beta version of STEP Greek, which only includes a regular upright font at writing (with full polytonic support). You can access these by adding the following to your preamble (choosing one of \texttt{txrc}, \texttt{Tempora-TLF}, or \texttt{STEPGreekTest-TLF}):
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage{substitutefont}
\substitutefont{LGR}{\rmdefault}{&lt;fontname&gt;}
\end{verbatim}

If you are using the OpenType version of STEP, I recommend you use the Babel function for language-specific OpenType fonts (covered in detail in the \texttt{babel} documentation). For a test version of the new STEP Greek font, available on GitHub,\footnote{\texttt{https://github.com/dbenjaminmiller/STEPGreekTest}} use:

\begin{verbatim}
\babelfont[greek]{rm}[]{STEPGreekTest}
\end{verbatim}

\section{Contributing}
Contributions to the fonts and their \LaTeX\ support may be sent as pull requests to the project's GitHub repository.\footnote{\texttt{https://github.com/dbenjaminmiller/step}}
\section{Licensing}
STEP is licensed under the Open Font License (OFL) version 1.1; see \texttt{STEP-COPYING} for details.
