Fira Mono woff: @ is displayed as ♫ about fira

There are other incorrect glyphs, too: e.g. U+005E ^ is displayed as ℮, and U+007C | is displayed as ♦.

This applies to the .ttf as well as .woff files in 3.108. The .otf versions appear to be correct.

Decompiling the TTF using TTX reveals this in the cmap table:

      <map code="0x26" name="bar"/><!-- AMPERSAND -->
      <map code="0x40" name="musicalnotedbl"/><!-- COMMERCIAL AT -->
      <map code="0x5e" name="estimated"/><!-- CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT -->
      <map code="0x60" name="circumflex"/><!-- GRAVE ACCENT -->
      <map code="0x7c" name="diamond"/><!-- VERTICAL LINE -->

Clearly wrong-- needs to be fixed upstream. (Or alternatively, just copy the cmap from the OTF version, I suppose. But upstream is better, because that would fix the derived webfonts as well.)

@potch can you please regenerate v.3.108 of the font... looks like there are some issues ^^^

[codeman38]

This is still broken in the TTF version of 3.109.

Edited to add: Hm, after manually editing the character mapping, the TTF version still has some brokenness beyond that. For instance, the left bearing on the vertical bar character is too small; the OTF has

    <mtx name="bar" width="600" lsb="262"/>

while the TTF has

    <mtx name="bar" width="600" lsb="54"/>

I received a reply from Carrois indicating that this is an issue with the font editor used to generate the web fonts:

In the OTF the error doesn’t occur – so it seems to be a problem in the Beta-TTF-export of Glyphs.app.
Already forwarded your mail to the Glyphs developer. Please use the other formats until we fixed the problem.

In the meantime, would it be a good idea for Mozilla to generate their own version of the webfont using FontForge?

fixed! will update tomorrow.
was a database error between Glyphs2 Beta and some of the export settings.

Just downloaded 3.110. Looks good to me. Thank you!
