Dear list,

Here is a patch for adding Mozilla's Fira monospaced font. I do have a
problem with it: Emacs doesn't recognize the font.

I would really like to know how I can fix this.

And how could I download other variants of the font in the same package?

Kind regards,
Roel

Would be nice to see if this can be built from source.

It has to be installed in ~/.guix-profile because that’s where Guix’s
Fontconfig looks for font (I assume you’re talking about a
Guix-installed Emacs.)

Maybe you need to run ‘fc-cache -vfr’ (from Fontconfig) to update the
font cache?

The best would be to build them from source, if possible.  Otherwise
there can be several origins listed in ‘native-inputs’.

Thanks!

[PATCH] gnu: Add Mozilla Fira Mono font

[Toni Reina]

Hello,

One year ago, Roel Janssen sent a patch adding this font but finally it
wasn't applied. I created a new one, building the fonts from source, and
it includes all fira mono family: Bold, Medium and Regular.

I'm downloading the sources from carrois.com website because from github
isn't possible to download only the Fira Mono font, Fira Sans is also
included. I checked the nix package and they are doing the same. 

Cheers,

Toni

This patch doesn’t build the fonts from source, which would be nice
(with Fontforge or similar), but it’s great anyway.

I made the description a full sentence and applied it.

Thanks!
