Very cool, thank you. I was watching Scott Hanselman on YouTube the other day and he talked about the Cascadia Code version with built-in NerdFonts. Then I came here, and didn't see a new release for years. But today you delivered it. Thanks 👍😊 |

I tried to use OpenType feature freezer, but it was only able to freeze regular italics, it didn't freeze the EDIT: Every time I've tried to use the Cascadia Code cursive variant for things like JetBrains IDEs, Terminals, or photo editors like Gimp or Krita, I've been unable to. |

So, which one is recommended to install? I believe the powerline (PL variant) has an overlap with the nerd font (NF) variant, so is the PL variant needed at all now? If these two are separate, shouldn't they be combined to have just the normal and the NF variant? |

My understanding is that not everyone wants a full NF font, and just want PL. No harm in providing more options if possible, IMO. |

I still use the "Caskaydia Cove" for its non-monospaced (not to be confused with the proportional) variant where glyphs may span two character cells. Many glyphs of the strict monospaced variant, such is this official "Cascadia Code" release, end up too tiny for my preference. |

Fair enough. I plan to provide alternate versions of the NF in the future. |

NerdFonts have 3 versions if the source font is Monospace All 3 may have NL (No Ligature) Alternate versions of them - making it total of 6 versions NerdFonts you provided has only two of them
I usually use all six versions for different use cases I uninstalled caskaydia cove just to realise this release does not have everything I need. It would be great if you do provide alternate verisons. However what I wanted to point was naming of fonts. |

"Note: If you have previously installed a version of Cascadia Code, please uninstall the previous version prior to installing a new version. Not doing so can result in improper rendering." Tried to remove, but the new Settings app says: "Are you sure? This font is part of the following application: Windows Terminal To remove the font, you have remove the application." I hope I do not have to reinstall Windows for the new release. /s |

You will likely get the new version once Windows Terminal updates. Else, you can install and use the NF / PL versions. |

What is the recommended "default" set to install? OTF static, TTF static, or TTF variable? |

I had a similar question, and a follow up question. @DHowett @aaronbell is OTF the recommended format to install on a mac? In the latest version of the font, I'm still seeing weird visual discrepancies in the TTF versions (I mentioned them in this issue: #702). Most glyphs have have odd anchors that are visible. |

I generally recommend variable TTF for any OS. I use the TTF on my Mac and don't observe the level of visual discrepancies that you do. Essentially the problem is in the OS / application text rasterizing engine (see #350) and I'm not aware of any way to resolve it on my end for the variable font. I think when I refactor the build system, I'll make sure to remove overlaps on the static TTFs, which should solve it there, but will result in requiring me to dump the hinting, so it'll render blurrier. Tradeoffs :( |

Thanks for linking that issue, seems like clearing the font cache on my mac resolved the visual bugs in the static TTFs, at least. The reason why I found it odd was because these discrepancies were also visible in font book while installing the font on my mac. Could I ask if you have system wide font smoothing enabled or disabled on your mac environment? |

Oh interesting. I didn't realize that the cache would affect rendering. |

I've been wondering about this as well. Nice insights guys, thanks! |

I don't think I could say anything to top this one, so here's the release notes for the first version of Cascadia in three years!
New Features
Symbols for Legacy Computing (and more!)
Thanks to the tireless work of @PhMajerus, the Cascadia family now supports a whopping 1140 new glyphs covering sextants, octants, large type pieces, eights, sedecimants, quadrants (separated), segmented digits, circles and checkerboards. In addition, the existing block elements have been aligned to fit the same grid as the new characters to make for seamless ANSI art.
See #708, #721, #723 and #727 for more details.
"Nerd Fonts"
In addition to all of the above characters, the Cascadia family now comes with a native "Nerd Font" variant! It includes the entire set of glyphs as of April 2024 (all 9209 of them), and supersedes both unofficial variants "Caskaydia Cove" and "Delugia Code". Every glyph is metrics-compatible with the rest of Cascadia, so there should be no (or very few?) visual aberrations.
See #720 for all the details!
