FiraSans-Medium.ttf size from google/fonts:
158552 bytes
FiraSans-Medium.ttf size from mozilla/Fira:
401304 bytes
Other files have the same kind of disrepancy. Maybe a copy went wrong?
(Although FiraSans-LightItalic.ttf appears to work, and also has a different file size, so that may not mean much.)

mozilla/Fira is a newer version of the font with significantly more Unicode coverage and better line spacing. Should probably be updated here regardless.

If updating the font is not possible, maybe it could at least be removed from the repository so it doesn't conflict with the individual, valid font?

I will update this; its tricky because I need to be careful about regressions. Also now Fira has so many styles, and I don't think I reached an agreement with the GF team on how to onboard them. Thanks for your patience.

Is there an update on this? This hasn't font hasn't been working for me for at least a year...(Fedora 22, Fedora 23, OpenSuse 13.2)
My two cents: either remove Fira from this repo, or use the version from https://github.com/mozilla/fira. Is there any chance of an update on this situation?

@davelab6 Hey, I'll be tackling Fira this week.
We have a tonne of variants and weights here. I propose we do the following so the fonts are GF api friendly:
-
Get rid of the two, four and eight family variants. These family variants are for the Hairline weights only. They're like optical weights in printing. They add extra weight, depending on what size they're used. Imo, this is fiddly. A more elegant solution is to use variable fonts. If people object, I can include them.
-
Remapping
We have the following weights:
'FiraSans-Hair.ttf'
'FiraSans-Thin.ttf'
'FiraSans-UltraLight.ttf'
'FiraSans-ExtraLight.ttf'
'FiraSans-Light.ttf'
'FiraSans-Book.ttf'
'FiraSans-Regular.ttf'
'FiraSans-Medium.ttf'
'FiraSans-SemiBold.ttf'
'FiraSans-Bold.ttf'
'FiraSans-ExtraBold.ttf'
'FiraSans-Heavy.ttf'
'FiraSans-Ultra.ttf'
We should do this:
'FiraSans-Hair.ttf' -> 'FiraSansHairline-Regular.ttf'
'FiraSans-Thin.ttf' -> 'FiraSans-Thin.ttf'
'FiraSans-ExtraLight.ttf' -> 'FiraSans-ExtraLight.ttf'
'FiraSans-Light.ttf' -> 'FiraSans-Light.ttf'
'FiraSans-Regular.ttf' -> 'FiraSans-Regular.ttf'
'FiraSans-Medium.ttf' -> 'FiraSans-Medium.ttf'
'FiraSans-SemiBold.ttf' -> 'FiraSans-SemiBold.ttf'
'FiraSans-Bold.ttf' -> 'FiraSans-Bold.ttf'
'FiraSans-ExtraBold.ttf' -> 'FiraSans-ExtraBold.ttf'
'FiraSans-Heavy.ttf' -> 'FiraSans-Black.ttf'
'FiraSans-Ultra.ttf' -> 'FiraSansUltra-Regular.ttf'
Weights removed: Book, Ultra Light,
Weights renamed: Hair, Heavy, Ultra
@davelab6 @patrykdesign What are your thoughts on this?
I was very happy with the Mono fonts. Also, the otf folder includes condensed fonts. They're not present in the ttf folder.

@m4rc1e Hey, yes some of the weights are experimental. So the mapping should go as follows for CSS weighting...
- Thin (22em / CSS 100)
- UltraLight (34em / CSS 200)
- Light (58em / CSS 300)
- Regular (92em / CSS 400)
- Medium (128em / CSS 500)
- SemiBold (142em / CSS 600)
- Bold (158em / CSS 700)
- ExtraBold (178em / CSS 800)
- Heavy (198em / CSS 900)
Also please make sure you're using the latest version, 4.2 was recently released: https://github.com/carrois/Fira/tree/master/Fira_Sans_4_2/Fonts/FiraSans_OTF_4203
And I believe we moved off TTF since OFT supports advanced type features present in Fira. So hopefully you can use the OFTs instead. Thanks for your hard work.

Hey,
Thank you for your in depth response. I will make sure we use the latest release.
We need to use the following mapping for our api to work correctly:
"Thin": 250,
"ExtraLight": 275,
"Light": 300,
"Regular": 400,
"Medium": 500,
"SemiBold": 600,
"Bold": 700,
"ExtraBold": 800,
"Black": 900
At the moment, we only support ttfs I'm afraid. I'm guessing you folks used the otf format because you can use floating point units. This is especially useful in the hairline weight. ttfs uses integers only.
I hope you understand and don't mind us using ttfs instead?
Cheers,
Marc

@m4rc1e hey as far as the mapping goes, I think for maximum I'll remap THIN from CSS 100 to 250 and Ultralight from CSS200 to 275 while keeping the other weights the same as their CSS mapping spec:
- Light (58em / CSS 300)
- Regular (92em / CSS 400)
- Medium (128em / CSS 500)
- SemiBold (142em / CSS 600)

@patrykdesign please don't worry about any of this :-). I have it all automated. Please do not deviate from your sources to please us. You don't want to upset your existing users. We can modify our own version of the fonts for our spec. I've been doing this for Lato
We have fontbakery which helps us to hot fix fonts to work with our spec in mind.

@m4rc1e I mistyped... By "I'll remap" I meant hope you guys can remap. We'll keep our mappings as is. Also do you still need a TTF source or can you convert the OFT fonts to TTF. We also have the .glyphs source files you can use.

@carrois When I look at the official repo's ttf folder, there are no Condensed weights. @patrykdesign's link includes both Condensed and Compressed variants. My hotfix repo includes those Condensed and Compressed variants. Is the link @patrykdesign valid? or should I just hotfix the official repo sources only?
