What about publishing as webfont to cdn?

[qfox]

It would be great to use the most actual version of this on web sites right from CDN.

What you think about it?

[tonsky]

Are there any free ones?

@tonsky Some well-known: https://cdnjs.com/, http://www.jsdelivr.com/, or even github.io (https://pages.github.com/) 😼

[okonomiyaki3000]

Also try to get hosted on https://www.google.com/fonts
I don't think I would use this font for writing code but I would use it for displaying code. So it would be great to have it conveniently loadable in this way.

👍 This would be great to have on Google Fonts, at the very least.

I can add it to jsDelivr for you, including automated updating (since you use releases. I think it would be easiest to have your GitHub folder like this:

/dist
  firacode.css (should be minified)
  /ttf
    (files)
  /woff
    (files)
  /woff2
    (files)

Don't bother with EOT or SVG fonts anymore please. WOFF2 covers over half of browser usage, so that should try to load first.

Thanks! I’ll try to get webfonts for next release

Welcome.
Did more research; seems EOT is needed only if you need to support IE 6-8.. TTF has bad support in IE oddly enough, & really is only needed in some old (2/3? of Android <=4.3). WOFF is supported IE9+ & Android 4.4 (& some 4.x). So you could get away with just WOFF & WOFF2, since IE8 & old Android is unlikely going to be used by programmers anyhow.

(IIRC Some browsers have a bug that tries to d/l all font files, even if not used. That's why Google Fonts sniffs browser agent, & serves a custom CSS. jsDelivr can't sniff; sorry.)

[Jastrzebowski]

Meanwhile can we use tools like mentioned https://github.com/google/woff2, and self host converted fonts without breaking the OFL terms?

rawgit.com looks great 😃

Direct URL to latest version:
https://cdn.rawgit.com/tonsky/FiraCode/master/distr/ttf/FiraCode-Regular.ttf

[ghost]

@simon-matt Not a particularly good idea. See the front page:

Use a specific tag or commit hash in the URL (not a branch). Files are cached permanently based on the URL. Query strings are ignored.

Rawgit only makes sense for tagged releases and that would have to be updated manually.

Distribution as npm package would work for me, like in https://github.com/KyleAMathews/typefaces

It's available on unpkg too (backed by cloudflare): https://unpkg.com/firacode/distr/

Hi, I wonder if there's a plan on adding Fira Code to Google Fonts. Thx!

upd: I noticed google/fonts/issues/1460, sorry for bothering

[xlanor]

Given that rawgit is closing down (https://rawgit.com/), would it be possible to publish the latest version to npm (https://www.npmjs.com/package/firacode), such that the README.md would use unpkg in the sample?

[j-f1]

Looks like someone else has that package name, but @tonsky could contact the user and npm to get access.

[WorldMaker]

JsDelivr also supports GitHub CDN like RawGit did, as another option.

This font is now available via Google Fonts: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Fira+Code
