This update fixes some minor ligature issues, font selection issues and
a problem with the Hebrew letter Vav when combined with Holam.
See microsoft/cascadia-code#538 for more details.
This update brings some significant changes to the Cascadia family:
* Arabic and Hebrew support
* Italics (the new ones, not the cursive ones)
* Tweaked letterforms and fixed interpolation values for the upright
faces.
Since we now have four font files, this commit also relocates them to a
much more reasonable place (res/fonts/) and tidies up the build and
exclude rules to make them more extensible in the future.
This update fixes some issues in Cascadia Code's February update:
microsoft/cascadia-code#406 - updated anchor type to lock with the other equals-related ligatures
microsoft/cascadia-code#408 - corrected component used for glyph to align with Unicode
microsoft/cascadia-code#412 - updated locl features removing iacute_j ligature and Catalan substitution
microsoft/cascadia-code#414 - increased overlaps of middle glyph for arrow ligatures
microsoft/cascadia-code#415 - reduces width of macronbelow
microsoft/cascadia-code#416 - rolls back name ID 4 modification as JetBrains cannot process it correctly
microsoft/cascadia-code#428 - rolls back variation of the underline to prevent MVAR table generation
Full changelist:
* Repositioned tilde in related ligatures. Previously it was higher than the standard one.
* Added missing vietnamese anchors on acute and grave (futureproofing).
* Corrected / made consistent greater & less positioning in </> and <$> related ligatures.
* Otherwise reviewed hinting
A header line is missing from a few `.svg` files, denying their use (via
a security error) in WordPress (if svg support is enabled). The upload
is rejected even though the web browser could display the image if it
were dragged into its own tab.
The `.svg` images appear to have been edited at different times and with
different tools. Their contents are in a different style. Two of them
are beautiful and the rest do not follow suit and do not function the
same.
I don't know enough to make them all the same style, but changes can be
made to three of them to make them work the way I was expecting (see
below).
## Validation Steps Performed
- Perform the change with a text editor
- Open a new WordPress post page
- Drag-and-drop the changed file into that WordPress edit box
- (The WordPress media upload dialog appears and the file is uploaded)
- Confirmed that the file does not trigger a "security error" (as seen
at the top of the right-hand column)
- Confirmed that the image appears as a thumbnail preview
`Terminal_Pre_HC.svg` is not fixable in this way, and I don't understand
svg well enough to troubleshoot easily.
This commit introduces 8 more variants of the .ICO file, embeds the
right ones into WindowsTerminal.exe, and adds code that will select the
most appropriate icon at runtime.
Since we're a Centennial application, the "application" icon inside our
package isn't used by the shell for the taskbar thumbnails or the
Alt-Tab window.
To quote J. Tippet,

> 2. Add alternate versions of /res/terminal.ico

... and to quote Michael Ratanapintha,
> Basically, if your MSIX-packaged desktop app's image resources are
> separate files or even separate MSIX packages, they may be loaded by

> resources Mr. Tippet is referring to.
This is the "2nd fix."

This commit adds image assets for High Contrast mode
Tagging this issue so it contains a nice list of all the recent HC
fixes: #5360
I made several changes to DHowett's script and added it to the repo:
* Add support for generating high contrast icons
* Add the ability to easily edit the "intermediate" (previously "zbase")
files for manual hinting
* Appease the spellchecker
I created new SVGs for HC mode. There's one SVG for both Black and White
modes -- I just invert the colors. Then I manually hinted the generated
bitmaps for the production icons. I didn't bother hinting the Dev/Pre
ones, so the text does get unreadable at small sizes.
View the original images in #6915.

Closes#6822
It was brought to our attention that shipping a font with ligatures as our default
font could be an accessibility issue for the visually-impaired. Unfortunately, we
don't have a renderer setting to disable ligatures (#759). Fortunately however, we
DO already have a version of Cascadia that doesn't have ligatures.
If we ship that and set it as our default font, we'll at least let people _opt_ to
have ligatures enabled by switching from `Cascadia Mono` to `Cascadia Code`.
## PR Checklist
