Bug Report 's' followed by '=' doesn't have enough kerning in italics

[praveenpuglia]

Environment

Cascadia Code version number: 1909.16
Application (with version) used to display text: VSCode 1.38.1
OS platform and version: MacOS Catalina 10.15
Screen resolution (i.e. 220dpi): 220

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

• Go to VSCode
• Use a theme that supports italics.
• Type s=
• Check the kerning between those two.

Expected behavior

Expecting a little bit of breathing room between 's' and '='.

Actual behavior

No breathing room at all.

There is no italic so you're looking at something synthesized on the fly.

Makes sense. So, shall I close the issue?

[DHowett-MSFT]

Sure. 😄

Also, by the way, by definition, monospaced fonts have no kerning. If it had, it wouldn’t be monospaced anymore :P
