This update to the Cascadia font family brings the following changes:

  • Cascadia now has support for the Salishan languages of the Pacific Northwest and other coastal scripts!
  • We've fixed an issue in the -<< ligature that caused it to overlap itself at certain font weights (#355)
  • We remastered mark positioning for glyphs with existing diacritics for improved design for letters with multiple diacritics above
  • We have implemented a workaround for a freetype rendering issue that resulted in chunky rendering for certain glyphs (#350)

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
  • 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 and fl 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)

That pretty much says it all!

The Cascadia font family is now available with a variable weight axis ranging from extra-light (200) to bold (700).

In addition, the following bugs were fixed and changes were made:

Changes

  • The double-equals ligature == has been updated to improve visual clarity (image)
  • The diacritics on IJacute are no longer malformed
  • We've introduced a set of compatibility features to improve the rendering of powerline glyphs in legacy GDI applications

This release fixes a couple last-minute issues with 1911.20:

  • The new glyphs for the geometric shapes range had holes in them (unintended ones, on account of most of them are actually hollow circles). (#192)
  • The font was missing a gasp table, which impacted some hinted display scenarios. (#193)

As in 1911.20, this release includes Cascadia Mono, a version of Cascadia that doesn't have ligatures (#80) and Cascadia (Code|Mono) PL, a version of Cascadia that has embedded powerline symbols (#10).
