Well, I tested the font where I intend to mostly use it: in my terminal. The terminal is sakura, it's a VTE based GTK3 terminal. Check the two attached files, it's apparent that otf version gives a result that is by far worse. Check especially the bold 'm' letter, the dollar symbol and the dot inside of the '0' character. In case it matters, I chose the native hinting method in when configuring fontconfig-config. I'm very willing to investigate the issue, I hope I'll end packaging the best version of this font. Cheers, Paride
