Mono + Casual combo causes Weight change #269

Hi,

I'm using Recursive for programming (looks great!), and have setup my editor so that my attribute names are casual and italic. However I noticed that the weight of the casual was heavier, and after looking on the microsite it appears to be a problem with the MONO and CASL.

First of all, thanks for trying Recursive. Awesome mixing of styles!

This seems to be an issue with text rendering on macOS. What version of OS are you on?

Potentially, I could do something in my build to hack around the issue. I’ll think about what that might require...

Hi!

I'm getting something similar on macOS. The italics seems not to be respected on code editors. Words that should be italics are rendered regular. Is it OS related too?

@giovanicascaes That is a separate issue (https://github.com/arrowtype/recursive/issues/153). It is OS correlated (it does work in VS Code on Windows 10, but not currently in VS Code on macOS. It does work on PhpStorm, interestingly, on macOS).

Oh, ok. Thank you very much.

This appears to have been fixed in recent versions of macOS! 🎉
