* Package name : fonts-fira Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Mozilla * URL : https://github.com/mozilla/Fira * License : SIL Open Font Licence Programming Lang: N/A Description : sans-serif font family released with FirefoxOS
Any progress? *Download* The Fira font family comes in a Sans Serif with 4 weights (light, regular, medium and bold) all accompanied by italic styles. The package also includes a Mono Spaced variant with 2 weights (regular and bold). http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/products/firefox-os/typeface/
Hello, I've created a package for fonts-fira. I tried to contact the pkg-fonts-devel mailinglist. But it seems my message was spam filtered. The package is here https://github.com/ruediger/fonts-fira at the moment and can be build via "debuild -us -uc -A". I wish to move it upstream into the Debian Fonts project if there is interest. I however don't know what other steps are required to do that. Regards, Rüdiger
I discovered that: Mozilla are not distributing the source for these fonts. The source is available though, see these sites: http://www.donotlick.com/2014/05/23/try-out-fira-sans-a-free-open-source-typeface-commissioned-by-mozilla/ http://dev.carrois.com/fira-3-1/ The source can only be converted to a TrueType font using a proprietary program that only runs on Macs. This means that Fira is not suitable for Debian main and must be uploaded to Debian contrib instead. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7793735 http://www.glyphsapp.com/
Does this even matter for Fonts? You can still simply open the font file in Fontforge (a free software font editor) and change it like any other font. It's not like a program binary where editing the binary is much more complicated than editing the source. I mean if they hadn't published the "source" (their editor files) at all then would it still have ended in contrib? Regards, Rüdiger
Yes: https://lists.debian.org/1948618.u6YZvnFvaf@scott-latitude-e6320 Editing executable code isn't that hard any more either with tools like IDA but we still require source code for them. http://bcmon.blogspot.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_Disassembler It depends on how responsible the people packaging it are and how many questions the ftp-masters raised when looking at the initial package.
https://github.com/mozilla/Fira/issues/25#issuecomment-44137353 It seems that at the moment Mozilla won't accept modifications. But if they do maybe we can convince them to standardise on UFO instead of a proprietary editor format. UFO should be supported by FontForge. Regards, Rüdiger
They have now added the UFO files to the github repo. I haven't updated the package yet. But it should now be good enough for Debian main, right? * https://github.com/mozilla/Fira/issues/25#issuecomment-46699424 * https://github.com/mozilla/Fira/tree/master/source/UFO%20%28Beta%29 Regards, Rüdiger
It sounds like the author is still using the Glyphs app but saving and loading UFO instead of the Glyphs format. That seems acceptable. http://dev.carrois.com/fira-3-1/ However, we are missing a way to build the fonts from the UFO sources.
Hi, it’s been two years… Is still someone trying to get this into Debian? (I’ll use https://github.com/eddelbuettel/pkg-fonts-fira for now.) Thanks, Joachim
I also want to use fira in debian, but nobody seems to be interested in packaging it. :/ Stefan

Hi, I downloaded the latest Fira release and ran ufo2otf on sources/ufo/Fira*.ufo. That spewed a lot of warnings but seems to work (I can view the font in GNOME font viewer). I think packaging is now as easy as: - Getting a +dfsg'd tarball (only including the sources) - running ufo2otf on the sources best, werdahias
