Hi, @jrieken! Thank you for your attention. I would like to clarify that this is not a feature request. In my previous PR #153968, I added the fontVariationSettings option, which is a part of FontInfo. Although this setting is applied to components related to the code editor, the suggest widget does not utilize it. However, the suggest widget still applies other font properties (such as fontVariationSettings), so I’m quite confident this is a bug. This can result in readability issues when using certain fonts.
