FiraCode 5.1 looks broken at 11pt

@CheloXL @tigerinus can you try this build? Does it make things better?

And this one too please. These are just the different ways to export the same source. They all look identical on Mac, but apparently on Windows one way is better than the other. Thanks!

@tonsky Glyphs looks great, no_compat looks worst than the original 5.1

I did my own bit of testing. no_compat renders m too low, for some reason:

Glyphs is mostly fine, but //=// got butchered:

@CheloXL can you provide a screenshot how no_compat looks for you? Just curious.

I think I’ll wait for @tigerinus to respond, but most likely I’ll stick with Glyphs from now on.

Also, on MY machine on VS, //=// shows just fine.

with 'glyphs' fonts, the problem is completely gone:

Ok thanks, I’ll stick with the Glyphs export from now on. Sorry for the hiccup
