  You’d think after that page of “texture healing”, alignment, etc. etc., Microsoft would actually make a fully, complete font first and foremost…

    And release zip contains a _MACOSX folder which is a clear indication of sloppiness and/or rushed release. … and ligatures don’t work out the box in JetBrains product IDEs.

    And if only they slapped beta on this there will be not problem what so ever…

      The ligatures don’t even work in visual studio. It made me look for a different font with ligatures, landed on fira code for now. But hyphenated ligatures just seen outright broken on VS and have been for a good amount of years. Think it’s time to change IDEs soon. Might try and get VS Code to act more like it’s counterpart at some point.
