Research direction
The issue reports a visual difference in font rendering between Notepad++ and Sublime Text on Windows 8.1. The user notes that the font appears italic in Notepad++ but regular in Sublime Text. To investigate, check the font file's hinting and OpenType tables, and verify if the issue is specific to Windows ClearType settings. The repository's font generation scripts (Python) may need adjustment. Examine existing comments for any resolved insights or maintainer responses.
