zwaldowski's italics rebased with Mozilla master with manual width corrections

# build otf
fd --extension=ufo -x fontmake -u {} -o otf --output-dir distr/otf

zwaldowski's fork is 85 commits behind Mozilla so there maybe minor differences between italics and regular/bold.

You say that

Does that hold true for this fork as well?
What are the "number of issues" you corrected?

Problems installing Bold Italic on macOS 10.14

When I try to install the OTFs from the repository, I see the following error about “name table usability”.

I ran the following in fish shell from the top of the repo, and got the same malformed font file.

for ufo in source/'UFO (Beta)'/*.ufo
    fontmake -u $ufo -o otf --output-dir distr/otf
end

The problem is likely with the fontinfo.plist for the bold–italic style.

fira-mono-italic/source/UFO (Beta)/Fira Mono-Bold Italic.ufo/fontinfo.plist

Homebrew cask for this?

Thank you for making this awesome patch!
Is there a Homebrew cask for this?

Grave accent aka backtick (`) is a combining character and it shouldn’t be

I’m sure you’ll agree this is a grave issue 😏

When I write this is `a little` test it appears as this is à little`test. zwaldowski/Fira, mozilla/Fira or bBoxType/FiraSans don’t show this issue.
