What happened?

When I set the font to Cascadia code in Emacs, italics is displayed by default. However, no matter the width of the font is changed to regular, light or bold, only italics with the corresponding width will be displayed. Changing the font to Cascadia mono will display normally, but the font will look strange.

This is probably the same problem as #500 and will be solved by #538.

I'd suggest using the static instances for the time being rather than the variable font. Sorry for the trouble!
