[question] [help] dollar sign alternative

[samadadi]

currently dollar sign contains cross line that makes it, in my opinion super ugly. does this font has an alternative to enable, specially for these <$> <$ $> ligatures? is it possible to build font from source without cross line?

In the first version the construction of $ was without the bar. Bur after receiving the feedback we changed it to be more classical.
Here is an issue about it. #110

@samadadi, in the meantime, what you could use is the version from https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads. It is not yet updated with the newer $ (although I suspect it is a matter of time), and it has the un-crossed glyph.

The alternate construction was added in the cv14. This can be accessed through OpenType setting in your application.
