Master site for downloading latest version

[horia]

Hello,

I am maintainer of Fira port on FreeBSD:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/x11-fonts/fira/
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/www/fira-webfont/

I looked for MASTER_SITES when making this and one is for moztt (deprecated):
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/moztt

The other is unusable box.com with random URL, no file name, no version and no checksum:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/products/firefox-os/typeface/

So I'm using https://github.com/mozilla/Fira right now.

I checked file size from port and box.com .zip and are not identical:

# du -k  /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/fira-box.com/FiraMono-Regular.ttf 
124  /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/fira-box.com/FiraMono-Regular.ttf

# du -k /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/fira/FiraMono-Regular.ttf 
140  /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/fira/FiraMono-Regular.ttf

1. Is it possible to update https://github.com/mozilla/Fira to use the latest version of the font? Maybe using Tags to differentiate these versions too.
2. I'd like to include the OT PDF in the FreeBSD port DOCS. Please add the PDF demos from box.com .zip in https://github.com/mozilla/Fira too.

Some tests when I'm looking at "f" in Fira:

• Port vs. http://mozilla.github.io/Fira/

The font sizes in PDF and LibreOffice are different.
I couldn't find a quick way to extract the font size for "f" from PDF (I think it's image, not font).

The font sizes here are 32px and the "f" appears almost identical when I select to difference the layers in the Gimp:
Matching the "f" in "Firefox": http://i.imgur.com/riOaNAz.png
Matching the "f" in "abcdefgh...": http://i.imgur.com/7L6Rx3R.png

Using the Gimp I get these results:

Thank you

Ping anyone? Should we file a bug in bugzilla,mozilla.org?

I've updated the URL of the canonical site on this repository in the README, and updated the repo to the latest stable version of the font.
