One of three asterisks (***) has different hight. It seems to happen only when there are three asterisks. See attached screenshot for an example.

I think that's one purpose. FiraCode does the same: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode

Ah, could be! Feel free to close this issue if this one was on purpose.

It is a ligature, and it's intentional. It is shown in the ligatures section of the font presentation page : https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/#ligatures

This is a ligature. Works like intended. Thanks for feedback.

languitar commented 4 years ago

Can someone explain the reason for this ligature? I don't see any real use for this so far.

*** is an operator in Haskell. https://hectorhon.blogspot.com/2016/12/how-to-use-haskell-arrows-for-beginners.html

con-f-use commented 3 years ago

Did somebody make a version without this particular ligature?

It is also can be useful in markups with lists’ items indentation using asterisks, such as Org mode, as well as ###… for headings
