What happened?

The use of / and = together makes the first-quarter part of the equal go up and shrink by the way when using like this: /= image but works well when its =/=. image

Interesting. Can you give more information regarding the exact resolution / point size that you're looking at?

The outlines are perfectly aligned, so this appears to be hinting related, but the hinting instructions are also the same.... I wonder if you've just happened to fall into a crack where it doesn't align for some reason.

Parvat-R commented 3 years ago

Okay, let me explain. The bottom left side of the equal symbol just moved a 1 pixel up when used with the /. Here a more zoomed image. image

Why does that go up? Is it my VS code's problem or some minor bug?

aaronbell commented 3 years ago

Yes I understand the problem and believe it to be hinting related where the horizontal bar has been shifted slightly to align with the pixel grid. As I said before, can you provide the resolution of your device and the point size of the text?

I have dual screen. One of 1920x1080 and another of 1366x768. Both of them show the same alignment as shown in the above picture,

I think that is the problem of my VS code or the theme probably. Because it works well in liber office. See this image image And thanks for immediate response.
