Just as a test, I decided to make my editor font slightly smaller than what I'm used to.

As you can see, the !== ligature is misaligned, and the || has a slightly blurred left-hand line. Both these (and other similar) issues could be solved with hinting.

I'm suffering from this issue. Especially === and !== look very bad because the middle line is a bit too high. I really really love the font, but this bugs me everytime i see it.

I'm using PhpStorm 2016.2 with 12pt on 1920x1080 and Windows 10 (if that matters).

I’ll do my best but figuring out manual true type hinting if far harder
than it might seem

This happens to all fonts at certain sizes, I find that FiraCode works great at 12px and it's also comfortable for me to type with.

12px is darn small! I think my editor is at 12pt (which translates to 16px at 96dpi pixel density) but is also zoomed in a step or two.

So it's 20px-ish for me 😃

243: Fix some broken links in readme r=olleolleolle a=Aliciawyse

The Gemstash README.md includes a section titled [Deep Dive](https://github.com/rubygems/gemstash#deep-dive) that includes topics for further reading. Two of those topics, "Private Gems" and "Multiple Gem Sources", have their own README.md files. In those
READMEs is a broken link to the Gemstash's Quickstart section. This commit fixes that.

I did this by updating the specific `man` files and then I ran `rake doc`. This kicked off a task to update the corresponding files in the `docs` directory.
