I'll just let the screenshot do the talking :)

In those situations the >> looks really akward.

Interesting, this only happens at font size 9. At 10 it's the same height.

I think that I have a fix in the works for this. This is a result of a lack of TrueType instructions on the glyph. More soon -- this is what I'm working on at the moment.

Been a few days, but I had a breakthrough. I can now apply TT instructions to Consolas (which will fix this issue). I now just need to learn how to craft the TT instructions effectively. More soon.

So this is how the brackets will look in the upcoming release. It's using the existing geometry, but with my fixes to the font hinting code, it already looks a bit better.

I can also revisit the base geometry if everyone thinks it still needs some work. Should have a release ready to go within the week.

Hokay, @Jeddix -- let me know if https://github.com/ofolis/consolig/releases/tag/v0.4.0 solves the issue.

Works perfectly now in Visual Studio 2019 with font size 9.

The >> still looks funny in that context but I guess you can keep it like that for the C++ guys 😄.

Awesome, and yeah, I hear you re: funkiness. I'll be working on trying to get more customization baked into the builder in the next release.
