This update to the Cascadia family of fonts brings the following changes:

  • We are now generating static TTFs for every named variant
    • These static instances will be hinted using ttfautohint, and so will look different than the variable font at small and intermediate point sizes
  • We've temporarily stopped shipping variable OTFs due to some concerns about overlapping and psautohint
  • The heaviest weight of Cascadia has been made a little lighter
  • We have aligned the Powerline glyphs and the box-/line-drawing glyphs better to their metrics and to the letter glyphs
  • Diacritic anchors have been added to all alphabetic characters (#282, #330)
  • The font now ships with decomposed fi and fl ligatures
  • The horn combining diacritic has had its weight fixed somewhat for Bold
  • Primes have been redesigned to give them a more "angled" feel (#294)
  • Acute and grave have been given additional weight to help differentiate them from dot (#268)
  • The contextual alternate for x used to signify hexadecimal numbers has been disabled (#285)
