Little issue with version 2.0

[DamienCassou]

I've just switched to version 2.0 and it doesn't look as good as it did in 1.4.0 :-).

Version 2.0

Version 1.4.0

[DamienCassou]

I'm installing Iosevka-comfy from Nix and I'm responsible for the package. Here is the patch I wrote to update to v2: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/f308200adfca54d9c30f387247e73cd5b0c0bafe?diff=split&w=0.

This is just the new trend in typography, haha!

I think you just need to restart Emacs for it to read the new files.

not sure I will get used to it though :-D

I unfortunately rebooted the computer before reporting the issue. The screenshot is after the reboot.

Thank you for this!

Thank you for this awesome font I'm using everywhere (desktop, web browser, Emacs...).

Oh, this is bad! Could it be some sandboxing issue on the Nix front? I am not sure how things work there... Put differently, does it work if you put the font files inside ~/.local/share/fonts? This assumes you are using fontconfig.

You are welcome! I enjoy doing this because I also use it everywhere.

I'm using fontconfig and putting font files in ~/.local/share/fonts while removing them from Nix still shows the problem. Renaming these files from .ttf to .ttf.bak solves the problem immediately and renaming them back makes the problem reappear.

Here are the list of font files and each file size:

Here are some changes between the 2 versions (some updates are smaller and others are larger):

This is bizarre... I have no good explanation for it. Can it be some caching issue? Otherwise, why would a slight change to the name produce the desired results.

I assume this is due to the changes made upstream. They probably reworked more of the "motion" characters than the "wide" ones.

Does the "wide+motion" variant have a larger increase than the regular "wide"?
