Roadmap for multiple-weight about firamath HOT 9 CLOSED

How about joining the FiraGO team and merging the two projects into one? I mean no offense by this question, I just really don't have an understanding of how things (legal, technical, whatever) work around developing open type faces. Btw, I very much might use of Fira Math in my thesis. I think it's beautiful and Sans types have a crisp feeling of modernness about them.

A simple test:

@thymaro I don't know how to join them, and whether it's necessary. At present, I just do the font for fun. Actually, I don't quitely understand the "things" you mentioned either.

I plan to add thin weight as well:

Any idea when these might be ready (even if it's an automatic transformation)?

A light version would fit in better with the Metropolis default (Fira Sans Light).

I have no plan to finish all the weights recently. All the weights should be generated via interpolation, but I am still considering how to implement it. Maybe in a long time (almost half a year), only regular is available.

For alphabets and some of the symbols, I have copied from Fira Sans into Fira Math (see ac440e1). The MATH table, more symbols, as well as an overall check (e.g. metric, accent position, etc) are still on going.

Note that I have extended the family to 12 styles, which is consistent with the original Fira Sans (Hair, Eight, Four and Two are removes since they are too thin and not practically useful). ExtraBold, Heavy and Ultra do not have corresponding "bold" version (for mathematical use), so I just make these positions to be empty.

The weights are as following:

You could copy the missing glyphs from regular until the weights are finished. This prevents missing characters in text.

Now the weights branch has been merged into master, since all the fonts are valid when loaded via unicode-math. If there are any problems, please commented in #27.
