What happened?

I used to use the static fonts but followed the suggestion in the ReadMe that the TTF has better hinting and should be used.

Checking in Font Book shows a lot of weights:

I'd like to use a lighter weight in VS Code, but if I set it to 300, the font is all italic:

~LibraryApplication SupportCode - InsidersUsersettings json — ng-designsystem-20210713_152933

It seems to work as expected in Terminal where I can use a GUI to set the weight:

Profiles-20210713_153350

as you can see, it looks like Light here:

ttf — st016lo@US-ST016LO-MLT — e-2106 17ttf — -zsh-20210713_153739

Hm. I'm not seeing that issue in VS Code myself. It may be caused by multiple font installs causing issues. I would suggest uninstalling all versions of the fonts, restarting, and reinstalling.

smlombardi commented 3 years ago

I did, more than once. If I install the static TTF or OTF fonts, then I can set the font to "Cascadia Code Light"

Hm. I'm afraid I'm not sure what's going on for you! Given that you're on a mac, just go ahead and use the OTFs. :)

It looks like this is the same issue as #500, so I'll close this and continue discussion over there.

BTW, out of interest, can you provide a bit more information about the system / VS Code version that you're using? I feel like this is likely a platform-specific issue but want to make sure.
