# Lato Font



[![Bower version](https://badge.fury.io/bo/lato-font.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/bo/lato-font)

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/lato-font.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/lato-font)



This is the latest official `2.015` web-version of the OpenSource [Lato font][lato]

suitable to be used with [npm][npm] or [Bower][bower].



> Support for legacy EOT and TTF font types are dropped in version `3.0.0`.

> If you need this for [old devices](http://caniuse.com/#feat=woff), please use the version `2.0.0`.



## Features



- latest official web-optimized version of the *Lato* font

- supports all unicode ranges (i.e. languages), variants and styles provided by *Lato* font

- provides both *CSS* and *SCSS* (*SASS/Compass*) integration options

- installs with *Bower* and *npm*

- individual fonts can be added to a project using [*SCSS* integration][scss-api]

- all fonts can be added to a project just by including provided CSS-file

- library is extremely customizable and provides very convenient [*SCSS* API][scss-api]



## Installation



### Install library with *npm*



`npm i -D lato-font`



### Install library with *Bower*



`bower install --save-dev lato-font`



## Usage



Either [link library directly via *CSS*][css-integration] or use provided [SCSS API][scss-api] in your build process.



By using [*SCSS* API][scss-api] you can easily add individual fonts to your project!



### Hint



*Medium* versions of *Lato* font (both regular and italic) are available under the `Lato Medium` name instead of just `Lato`.

This is required because *Medium* and *Normal* variants are using the same weight of `400`.

*CSS* only supports values divisible by `100` for the `font-weight` property.



### CSS integration



Just link provided CSS file to your page:



``



Then use provided font-faces it in your CSS:



```css

h1 {

  font-family: Lato;

  font-weight: 900;

  font-style: normal;

}



p.quote {

  font-family: "Lato Medium";

  font-weight: 400;

  font-style: italic;

}

```



### SCSS API



The best way to use this font library is by integration with *SCSS* (*SASS/Compass*).



Consider this example:



```scss



@import 'public-api';



$lato-font-path: '/bower_component/lato-font/fonts';



@include lato-include-font('black');

@include lato-include-font('medium');



h1 {

    @include lato-font('black');

}



p.quote {

    @include lato-font('medium', italic);

}



```



You can see the list of available mixins in `/scss/public/_mixins.scss`.



List of available variants is in `/scss/internal/_variables.scss`.



You can override font path directory using `$lato-font-path` variable.



## Feedback



If you have found a bug or have another issue with the library - please [create an issue][new-issue] in this GitHub repository.



If you have a question - file it with [StackOverflow][so-ask] and send me a

link to [[email protected]][email]. I will be glad to help.

Also, please create a [plunk][plunker] to demonstrate the issue, if appropriate.



Have any ideas or propositions? Feel free to contact me by [E-Mail address][email].



Cheers!

    SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1.1 - 26 February 2007

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    

    PREAMBLE

    The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide

    development of collaborative font projects, to support the font creation

    efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and to provide a free and

    open framework in which fonts may be shared and improved in partnership

    with others.

    

    The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and

    redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The

    fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded, 

    redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved

    names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,

    however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The

    requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply

    to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.

    

    DEFINITIONS

    "Font Software" refers to the set of files released by the Copyright

    Holder(s) under this license and clearly marked as such. This may

    copyright statement(s).
