b6301e5 CascadiaCode: Rehint and use ttf

we replaced the hints done upstream by ttfautohint with hints done via Visual TrueType, because they render the text more similar to the variable fonts (hints).

But the version string still mentions 'ttfautohint' because we did not touch the font files at all except opening, hinting, closing in VTT. This can be confusing.

[how]
Change the version string to "Version 2111.001; VTT 6.35" via:

  • ttx -i *.ttf
  • Edit ttx files and replace version, see above
  • ttx -b *.ttx
  • Move new fonts over old fonts
