CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font -- "Arrow" Ligature

[jesusvelezx]

Hello! I want to report a problem with the "Caskaydiacove Nerd Font" ligatures, specifically in regular and semibold type. When creating an arrow with - and > = -> signs it looks strange, as if they are not of the same thickness.

I attach some screenshots.

IDE: PyCharm Professional Font: Caskaydiacove Nerd Font Mono -- Regular & SemiBold Reserved Font Name: Cascadia Code Version: 2111.01

Psdt: -- The first image is Regular type. -- Second image is SemiBold type

Thanks!!

Lig looks ok in writer

The ligature uses these glyphs:

The point coordinates are exactly the same, but the hinting might be different.

Ah, yes, here

Which OS are you on?

The 'original' hints are from VTT.

I did find a solution that we possibly can automate that make the hints compatible:

Although the code change is simple that would involve some more restructuring of the configs. :thinking:

Lig se ve bien enwriter

La ligadura utiliza estos glifos:

Las coordenadas de los puntos son exactamente las mismas, pero las sugerencias pueden ser diferentes.

Ah, si, aquí.

¿En qué sistema operativo estás?

I am using Windows 11 So there is a problem, isn't there? Or, is it a problem with the IDE I'm using?

There is a problem. And I implemented something that should fix it (see above PR #1613).

I need someone who sees it (I can not see the problem in my one Windows box, but I can only connect to it via RDP, and I believe hinting problems are not visible then, and the only other Windows box I can sometimes use is the Gaming Laptop of one of my children 😬 ). So I need someone who sees it to try out the fonts after the change. If you would do it (i.e. remove all Caskaydia Cove, reboot, install the new ones, try out, ...) I can put them here... ?

Edit: Adding translations :-)

• Hay un error, gracias por informar
• Implementé una solución. Pero no puedo ver el problema, por lo que no puedo ver si la solución funciona.
• ¿Quieres probar la nueva fuente, puedo subirla aquí en un comentario?

[jesusvelezx]

Of course I can do it myself, I have no problem!

Here the Regular font with hopefully fixed arrows. Reports appreciated.

I just tested it and it works great. But still the semibold and bold have the same problem :( I'm sorry, I just noticed it.

[Finii]

That is expected ;-) Only Regular is fixed in the zip file.

Do you need them? I can just upload which you need. Nerd Font Mono and the Regular, Bold, SemiBold and the Italic ones?

[jesusvelezx]

If it is possible to have all the fonts for me it would be great :)

Here a more complete set of patched fonts. The problem is that Github does not allow big archives in comments and also does not allow better archives than zip :roll_eyes:

CascadiaCode_subset_arrow.zip

And here is a complete set of all fonts. To circumvent the Github shortcomings, this is an xz archive in a zip archive.

• Unpack the zip -> you get a xz
• Unpack the xz -> you get the fonts

You need some tool like 7-zip to unpack the xz.
