Commit Mono renders as:

It would be nice to tighten up those vertical gaps (without needing to decrease line height).

Great spot, I'll look into it!

Actually in seems to depend on the editor and the font weight?

In CotEditor.app, it only happens at font weight 450. In TextEdit, it happens at all font weights. In VSCode, a line spacing of 1 fixes the issue but then causes the lines to be too close together to read easily.

Yes, I think I just need to make them taller. This might cause some small pixel overlap issues but much better than being disconnected.

This should be fixed in version 1.132.
