MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - I like to keep up with the current version but this time it was a mistake

In Sigil for the code view font I've been using Microsoft's Cascadia Code. Ordinarily I'd use Microsoft's Consolas but I switched to Cascadia Code when I heard about it since it looks even nicer. Today I finally upgraded Sigil from 0.whatever it was to the latest version. Checking the preferences I saw Cascadia Code and decided to see if there's a newer version and there was so I replaced the one I had with the new one.

They've completely changed the curly quotes. They look like regular straight quotes. In the screen grab the "Regular quotes" paragraph is using the straight quotes. If you look very close their curly quotes are slightly thicker at the tops or bottoms but it's much too subtle for my eyes.

It also has ligatures for coding stuff; I recently read an article online somewhere where they said that is a bad idea. I guess I should try and figure out where they're used so I don't get tripped by that as well.
