Feature Request: Clearer curly braces #525

Closed jsit closed 2 years ago

jsit commented 3 years ago

Description of the new feature/enhancement (with images if possible)

The shape of curly braces is not well-defined at small sizes and can resemble a parenthesis. Here it is in SemiLight 12 in iTerm 2:

braces-ibm-plex-mono

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
