Cascadia Code 2008.25
This update to the Cascadia family of fonts brings the following changes:
- We are now generating static TTFs for every named variant
- These static instances will be hinted using
ttfautohint
, and so will look different than the variable font at small and intermediate point sizes
- These static instances will be hinted using
- We've temporarily stopped shipping variable OTFs due to some concerns about overlapping and psautohint
- The heaviest weight of Cascadia has been made a little lighter
- We have aligned the Powerline glyphs and the box-/line-drawing glyphs better to their metrics and to the letter glyphs
- Diacritic anchors have been added to all alphabetic characters (#282, #330)
- The font now ships with decomposed
fi
andfl
ligatures - The horn combining diacritic has had its weight fixed somewhat for Bold
- Primes have been redesigned to give them a more "angled" feel (#294)
- Acute and grave have been given additional weight to help differentiate them from dot (#268)
- The contextual alternate for
x
used to signify hexadecimal numbers has been disabled (#285)
