Hi,
First of all, I would like to thank you for this amazing font; the continuity of its curves is unmatched IMHO.
I am building a code editor and judged Inconsolata to be the perfect pick for the default font, however, there's an asymmetry on how the backtick character (`), is rendered in a couple cases. Here are some screenshots from Google Fonts:
1.1) More than one backtick with no characters in between them:
1.2) Two backticks surrounding one or more characters ending in an upper case letter:
In this example, note how the two backticks look different (one's slope is higher than the other).
For comparison, here are some examples on which the backticks are rendered equally:
2.1) Single back tick:
2.2) Two backticks surrounding one or more characters ending in an lower case letter:
I'd prefer the backtick to be always rendered in the same manner, like in the examples in the 2nd section.
Being the backtick essential in a programming use case, I am going through a dilemma in which I don't want to replace Inconsolata nor having the user face this while writing code.
Is this the expected behavior?
Is there a way around it?
If not, could someone guide me on how modify the font rendering for this particular situation (for what it is worth, I have no experience with font development)?
Att.,
