comma/semi-colon, curly braces, and underscore characters

[nashpatty]

@fabrizioschiavi Questions about some minor potential changes:

1. The comma part of the semi-colon and the comma itself are two different characters. It's a small detail but I was curious if it's possible to unify those characters.

2. Would it be possible to add a little space between consecutive underscore characters so there's a space between 2 or more underscores. To prevent it from looking like a continuous line. (I attached a screenshot of 1 vs 2 underscores for comparison)

ibm plex mono for reference:

3. The last one is the spacing between curly braces, vs parentheses and brackets. Could the space be unified? In smaller font sizes, the curly braces look like they're touching.

Thanks for the work on the font; best monospaced font ever!

@fabrizioschiavi a question; when you do get a chance to fix these issues, how are the updates pushed out for people that already purchased the font?

@nashpatty From the website. Most likely it will be a new version.

IMPORTANT: Buy now and until version 1.0 all the updates will be FREE.
And also after 1.0 the versions with my fixed errors will be free.
Only some extra improvements and new features will be at payment but OPTIONAL.
The actual version is 0.829

I read that on the site, but how is the newer version is distributed to existing owners of the font?

@nashpatty As always. From your account at fsd.it you'll be able to download the newest versions

@fabrizioschiavi I didn't register for an account before purchase 😅
is there still a way for me to add that order to my account? I have the confirmation, and download link in my email.

[fabrizioschiavi]

@nashpatty ah ok! Sorry this is my fault: for a short time I let visitors make orders without to be forced to create an account. A bad experience! I'll link your past order to your account soon so you'll be always updated. Thanks!

@fabrizioschiavi thank you!

I just want to add my +1 to this issue and give my appreciation to @fabrizioschiavi for looking into it.

The underscores, in particular, are of interest to me since I deal with a system that replaces invalid characters with underscores and when debugging I am often looking at a sequence of 4–5 underscores in a row.
