Fira Sans +is available in four weights with corresponding italics: light, +regular, medium, and bold. + +To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the +file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/fira.tds.zip where the preferred +URL for "tex-archive" is http://mirrors.ctan.org. Unzip the archive +at the root of an appropriate texmf tree, likely a personal or local +tree. If necessary, update the file-name database (e.g., texhash). +Update the font-map files by enabling the Map file fira.map. + +To use, add + +\usepackage{FiraSans} + +to the preamble of your document. These will activate Fira Sans as +the sans-serif text font. To activate it as the main text font, use + +\usepackage[sfdefault]{FiraSans} + +LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or who wish +to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option. + +Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to scale the +fonts. + +The default figure style is proportional-oldstyle, but the lining +(or lf) option will change the default to lining figures and +the tabular (or tf) option will change the default to tabular +(monospaced) figures. + +Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, LY1 and TS1. + +The medium option activates that series as the default bold series. +The light option activates that series as the default regular +series. + +Commands \firaoldstyle, \firalining, \firatabular, and +\firaproportional allow for localized use of non-default figures. +Superior numbers are available using \sufigures. Commands \firalight +and \firamedium allow for localized use of those series. + +The original OpenType fonts were obtained from + +https://github.com/buildingfirefoxos/Building-Blocks/tree/gh-pages/fonts/FiraSans + +and are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, version 1.1; +the text may be found in the doc directory. The type1 versions +were created using autoinst. The support files were created using +autoinst and are licensed under the terms of the LaTeX Project +Public License. The maintainer of this package is Bob Tennent (rdt +at cs.queensu.ca) |
