Left and right square brackets not aligned vertically

[shniubobo]

Right brackets can be one pixel shorter than left ones, when used with a certain font size, weight or style. This can be reproduced in several applications, as well as in the preview function provided by Windows Settings.

This may be related to #266, but is not duplicate of that issue.

However, when taking this screenshot, I noticed that the left bracket is horizontally one pixel longer than the right one.

Well, it is the same issue as #266 (same cause, at least).

They are similar since they both have something to do with hinting, but they are not the same because they need different solutions. In #266, the misalignment was caused by FreeType's autohinting, and the solution was to disable that and use Iosevka's built-in hinting. Here the situation is the opposite - I have to use the unhinted fonts to work around this issue, that is, the issue is caused by the built-in hinting.
