Capital K throws off the spacing of words #573

Closed CoolDadTx closed 2 years ago

In my code I have the text value builder.HasKey. I'm using Cascadia-Code, 11 point. For this particular text the font removes a little over a letter of spacing on the left causing the text to no longer line up with the rest of the lines.

Removing the capital K fixes the issue.

Of course this isn't valid so that won't work. Some other letters have the same issue. For example Z causes the problem but M and P do not. Using Cascadia Code Light or Cascadia Code Semilight resolves the issue.

In your screenshot, HasKey isn't even in Cascadia! The K has a very distinctive shape, which isn't present in your highlighted section of code.

This looks like it could be an editor configuration problem... what IDE is that?

CoolDadTx commented 2 years ago

It is Visual Studio 2019. The text editor is configured for Cascadia Code.

I agree the font wasn't right but it doesn't make sense why as the rest of the code around it was fine. Once I switched to Cascadia Code Light the problem has gone away. Switching back to Cascadia Code doesn't replicate the problem anymore.

Strange. Are you using the latest version of Cascadia Code? Or the previous version? And have you installed the variable version? Or the static instances?

CoolDadTx commented 2 years ago

Version is 2102.025

I just downloaded from Github and told Windows to install. I don't know what instance it installed from there.

Hi! Sorry for taking so long to follow up. In looking again at this, I wonder if there's something in your editor color theme that is causing a different font to be used. I thought initially there might be an issue with the Regular not being loaded, but I note that base is rendering correctly, but HasColumn is not. Maybe worth checking that out?

CoolDadTx commented 2 years ago

That's possible but given that the problem went away after I switched to another font and then back I suspect there was some sort of initialization issue when the font was loaded. I haven't seen it since.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully this is just a one-off issue. Cheers!
