Arrow ligatures appear to be broken 🤔

The same from master branch:

Did I miss something ?

This is my dlig results shaped with Harfbuzz:

This is the same results shaped with DWrite:

Nothing bad happened. Maybe it is a font caching issue. Or, Apple's shaping thing cannot properly handle a fully valid font.

Closed as external.

I rebuilt the font from the freshly merged master branch and it's ok now !
Thank you for this great work @be5invis! I love the new wavy arrows :)

I pushed my arrow experiments a bit further and it looks really good in many cases... but not all ;) Some atypical arrows are used in Clojure or Javascript for example:

Clojure     -<> -<>> -<>< -<><: -<< -<<: -< -<:
Javascript  >>>=
PostGIS     <<->> |>> |&> &<|
PostgreSQL  #> ##>
Rust <_>

Here are my experiments.
