What happened?

I just reinstalled the font for obvious reasons and equal signs don't stick together anymore, nor the equal or greater/lesser shows like this: image is it just a misunderstanding or a bug? or did I choose the wrong font family?

Hi @PROKILLERX. It looks like you've been using a much older version of the font.

The equals ligature was modified to have a break for better clarity. I'm intending to implement a stylistic set for that but have not yet done so. See https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/issues/347

The greater / lesser were modified some time ago as I didn't like the way they were rendering with that more diagonal form. See: https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/issues/144
