cascadia-ttf: update to 2106.17.
Features:
- Arabic (and Urdu) support added (design by Mohamad Dakak) (#84)
- See the Arabic features PDF for the exciting new Arabic ligature
functionality used in Cascadia Code that gives the font greatly improved
readability and feel more more akin to a text typeface.
- Don't want all that? Don't worry, Cascadia Mono will house a normal
version of Arabic.
- Hebrew support added (design by Liron Lavi Turkenich) (#465)
- Due to popular demand, we've introduced a more "toned-down" version of
Cascadia Italic, which does away with a number of the cursive letter forms.
(#468)
- Entry and exit strokes across the italic lowercase have been rounded
to better achieve the fun / playful design language that we intended
for the italic. Other skeletons have been modified as necessary.
Cyrillic has also been updated for better consistency with the new
design.
- You can now activate the original cursive versions of /f /l /s and
/r with typographic feature salt or ss01.
Changes:
- We have adjusted the slant on all of the italic letters to make sure it's
consistent (#470)
- Italic Only: #507 - bar and broken bar will now stay upright for better
clarity
- Fixing a bug in the ccmp feature file and added ccmp to the feature
set in the build script.
- Deleting the (unused) liga feature file
- Vika has reviewed and improved some forms in Cascadia Code upright.
- Greek lowercase has been updated per feedback from Gerry Leonidas to
be more cohesive (No longer a mix between a "Monday" and \
"Friday" font.
All Friday, all the time!)
- #422 - Bitcoin glyph added
- #427 - FFFD glyph added
- #418 - top bar corrected
- #433 - hinting corrected to ensure alignment
- #435 - adds consistent ligature form for =>> <<= =<< and
>>= (the infinite arrows still work with addition of more equals)
- #443 - ligature now ignores (*) scenario
- #454 - adds ignore to prevent equal_equal ligature from showing up
- #467 - Not specifically sure of the problem here, but suspect that it will
be fixed with this - update.
- #477, #478, #479, #480 - interpolation issues fixes in a lot of ligatures
- #481 - JetBrains enumerates fonts weird. We've modified the internal naming
so that it will register Cascadia Code correctly. Also aligned postscript
naming with Google's recommendation, so will show up as "Regular" \
instead of
"Roman".
- General improvement of weight balancing
- Weight of lowercase rounds reduced in the Bold weight in Cascadia Code.
- Weight of Capital stems increased in Extralight weight in Cascadia Code.
- Tweaked weight of ogonek in ExtraLight.
- Added a localized form for ij and IJ should a user chose to use those
codepoints and want an accented version.
- Split fraction bar at heavier weights to improve clarity of fractions.
- Adjusted standard box drawing characters to align with GDI metrics, and added
a complete set of DWrite-specific ones that align with sTypo (using rclt).
- Ironed out some tiny inconsistencies in the <$ $> <$> ligatures which
we suspect no one will ever notice.
- Fixed centering of braces and some hyphens.
- Fixed inconsistency between semicolon/colon and period weight in bold. Also
fixed slight differences in hyphen-like glyphs in bold. You're as surprised
as we are.
- Increased weight of underscore in bold.
- Changed design of commaaccent, commaaccentmod commaturnedabove and commaabove
to be more distinguishable (following design of quotes).
- Fixed descents of various greek lowercase glyphs that were inconsistent.
- Felt ligated, might edit later.
- Corrected some additional interpolation bugs
