D2Coding Ver 1.4.0

D2Coding 1.4.0 adds a dotted zero that you can turn on, keeps more glyphs on the baseline with FreeType hinting, and drops four ligatures that changed the meaning of a period.

Please uninstall any previously installed version before installing.

What changed

• A dotted zero is available as an alternate to the slashed one (#106). It is off by default and is turned on with the cv01 OpenType feature, also registered as ss01. For example, in VS Code set "editor.fontLigatures": "'cv01'", and in Windows Terminal add "features": { "cv01": 1 } to the font settings. The README lists more editors and terminals. The standard builds now have a GSUB table that holds only these two features, so nothing changes unless they are turned on.
• With FreeType hinting, 27 Regular and 87 Bold glyphs were drawn one pixel above the baseline at some sizes between 9 and 29 ppem, among them i, і and ѝ at 18 ppem in Regular (#107, #108, #109, #110, #111, #112). They now sit on the baseline. No outline changed.
• The ligatures for .=, .-, {. and .} are removed (#97). They raised the period to the height of a centered dot, which misrepresented code such as 1.-x, Go templates' {{.}}, Nim pragmas and CSS selectors like .-mt-2.
