I think it might be hinting related, the descender of the f and the bottom of the c look off to me in this example:

On macOS it looks like this:

@hesselmonk Thanks for the feedback!

I would like to know more information:

  • What is the resolution (dpi) of your display?
  • What px font size are you using?

Hey sure, font size: 13.0 (no clue what units Intelij IDE's use), resolution: 1920 x 1080 (96dpi)

I've installed the .ttf version, looking at it in the Windows font settings it seems to be missing a bit of meta info.

Could you try with this font file? (It includes changes in #68 ) I've set auto hinting using ttfautohint-py when the font was built.

Yes, it renders much nicer now.

I do have to point out that Intellij IDE's have always had a funky way of rendering text. For reference this is what the same text, same size, looks like on this machine in VSCode:
