Tilde a bit too "flat" #152

Hi,

FSM makes a great programmer's font, which I use a lot. The distinction between 1Iil|, 0O, 56S and 8B is excellent, and FSM does not run as wide as some other mono fonts, so it fits better when combined with proportional fonts in a documentation. The one (small) gripe I have is that the tilde ~ is a bit too flat and could be mistaken for an - on "diagonal" reading. Hack (https://github.com/source-foundry/Hack), IMHO, has a better, stronger curved, tilde.

Thanks Engelbert
