This is a significant update to Cascadia Code including a large number of bug fixes as well as updating the font to offer support for Fira Code v5 ligature support. This update supersedes PR #373. Closes #262 - ⏎ added Closes #264 - additional codepoints for control characters added Closes #281 - `!:` and `!.` added Closes #290 - `/\` and `\/` added Closes #301 - `??=` added Closes #324 - ℞ added Closes #327 - `<:>` and other variants implemented via the `calt` refactoring Closes #359 - house added Closes #371 - Added x-height instruction into ttfautohint to control the height of the lowercase. Closes #375 - Completely redesigned quote marks for better recognition Closes #377 - updated hinting to achieve more consistent results Closes #381 - increased height of thetamod Closes #382 - reduced the width of the hooklefts Closes #383 - updated heights on esh, glottalstop, glottalstopreversed Closes #384 - tweaked hinting a little bit. Maybe it'll help :) Closes #386 - added remaining soft-dotting Closes #392 - changed designs of angled quotes (they are now round) Closes #394 - changed former `~=` symbol to a simpler component-based version. Should be less confusing now for Lua / Matlab users. Closes #395 - makes the underline thicker based on font weight Closes #400 - increased size of degree Closes #219 The full control pictures block has been added (u+2400 to u+2426). For purposes of rendering, the two letter abbreviations have been used instead of the standard three letter abbreviations: Additionally, ss20 includes the oft-unused graphical representations of these codepoints (for fun!): Closes #276 (infinite arrows) Full support for Fira Code's current ligature set (with a few exceptions). Now featuring infinite arrows!!! This involved a full refactoring of the `calt` feature—for those interested, it now uses forward-looking substitutions instead of backward-looking substitutions and progressive substitution to reduce code. This also required some redesigning of the greater / lesser related ligatures. Please note, I have also removed all the obsolete ligatures now covered by the arrows code. Closes #329 There was a mismatch in the font's postscript naming conventions that was corrected. Should now render all weights in Word. **Note** there is apparently an additional bug in Mac Word's implementation of variable fonts which should be available in an update mid-Feb. * Not listed – Reworked the hints for the mod and superscript glyphs so that they're bottom-up rather than top-down. This allows for better bottom alignments. Aside from the above changes, this version also includes many other small updates including spacing, outline quality improvements, and fixing hinting.

Considering that
?:and?.ligatures are already there, I think that adding these will make the code look more consistent.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
