This update to the Cascadia font family brings the following changes:
The full control pictures block has been added (u+2400 to u+2426). For purposes of rendering, the two letter
abbreviations have been used instead of the standard three letter abbreviations (#219)

Additionally, ss20 includes the oft-unused graphical representations of these codepoints (for fun!)

Full support for Fira Code's current ligature set (with a few exceptions). Now featuring infinite arrows!!! (#276)
image
This involved a full refactoring of the calt feature—for those interested, it now uses forward-looking
substitutions instead of backward-looking substitutions and progressive substitution to reduce code. This also
required some redesigning of the greater / lesser related ligatures. Please note, I have also removed all the
obsolete ligatures now covered by the arrows code.
There was a mismatch in the font's postscript naming conventions that was corrected. Should now render all weights in
Word. Note there is apparently an additional bug in Mac Word's implementation of variable fonts which should be
available in an update mid-Feb. (#329)
Reworked the hints for the mod and superscript glyphs so that they're bottom-up rather than top-down. This allows for
better bottom alignments.

height of the lowercase.
Completely redesigned quote marks for better recognition (#375)

Note: this only applies to curved/smart quotes
updated hinting to achieve more consistent results (#377)
increased height of thetamod (#381)
reduced the width of the hooklefts (#382)

tweaked hinting a little bit (#384)
added remaining soft-dotting (#386)

changed designs of the angled quotes (#392)

Aside from the above changes, this version also includes many other small updates including spacing, outline quality
improvements, and fixing hinting.- Loading branch information
