FiraSlav Typeface

FiraSlav is a monospaced font for Church Slavonic.

Editing Church Slavonic text in a text editor can be complicated because stacking diacritical marks are difficult to visually identify and correct. This font treats all diacritical marks and combining letters as spacing symbols and maintains a monospaced appearance, ideal for text editing projects.

Building the Fonts

The Google font building tools do not work correctly for this font as they generate fonts where the combining characters are non-spacing, which is exactly what we don't want. So the fonts are built directly from the FontForge source. So you must have Python and FontForge installed.

To build the fonts, run from terminal:


make build

To build the sample images, run:


make images
