Code ligature for != looks broken in VS Code themes with italics support

First of all, Awesome font. Thanks!

Code ligature for != looks broken in VS Code themes with italics support.
Same ligature looks fine without italics.
(Also, !== also looks fine with/without italics.)

Font version: 1.029
VS Code version: 1.41.1
VS Code Theme: Cobalt2/Night Owl

Steps to Reproduce:

• Install Recursive Mono Csl/Lnr b029st Regular & Italics variant
• Install/Set a VS Code Theme which supports Italics (For ex. Night Owl Italics)
• Type "!=" (without quotes) in file formats with italics support (For ex. comments in .java or .py files.)

Hey @krish-r, thanks so much for flagging this issue!

I’m guessing you’re using Windows 10, correct? As far as I’m aware, the italic style-linking isn’t working just yet on macOS – but we’re working on that.

Looks like a couple of contours have reversed directions between the weights of the slanted styles. This will be a quick fix, and I'll try to post an update in the next couple of days. :)

yes, Windows 10. Thanks for the quick response. :)

Hey @krish-r, could you please give this another try with the latest release (beta 1.030)?

Thanks @arrowtype, it looks good now.
