Package: fonts-firacode Version: 2+dfsg1-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
More information about this issue can be found in the official FiraCode bug tracker: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/939 The FiraCode author explicitly states[1]: > I think at some point OTF was superior to TTF, but now they are mostly the > same. The difference between OTF and TTF is that TTF can embed hinting > instructions, which are essential for rendering on low-res displays. Therefore I think it would *really* make sense to switch to the TTF variant of the font since it's mainly intended for "on-screen" usage anyway (in contrast to print) and thus sharp rendering is very important.
