There is a new plugin hosted at 
http://scott.sauyet.com/tiddlywiki/plugins/FiraCode.html.

It is used to embed the Fira Code font [1] in a TW5.  Fira Code has a large 
number of ligatures that help turn ugly sequences of symbols such as `<=` 
into more elegant-looking symbols like ` ≤` -- without altering your actual 
text.  Thanks are due to Mat for helping me through some final issues [2].

I find this font extremely helpful in documenting code.  I wrote it to 
scratch my own itch, but I think others may find it useful.

I am hoping for feedback.  Anything is welcome, but I do specifically want 
to know a few things:

  - Is this a reasonably well-written plugin?  Did I break any important 
rules?

  - Is hosting the plugin on a web page like this a reasonable means of 
distributing it?  Or is the norm to create a GitHub repo?

  - Is the text of the README and the USAGE sections appropriate?  I'm 
assuming a reader who has some experience with TW, but not necessarily one 
who is an expert.  Is that the correct -- or at least the conventional -- 
way to write these?

  - Should I slim it down?  The four font-weights included bring this 
plugin up to 1 MiB.  Should I remove everything but 400 and 700 weights, 
cutting it in half?  (Anyone know anything about font-weight support in 
browsers and/or community usage?)  Or should I offer a "full" and a "light" 
version of this?

Thanks for any feedback you can share,

  -- Scott
