i just noticed the % in IBM Plex is also wtf
21:25
<shu>
the / is split into 2
21:27
<shu>
that's not how a slash works
21:27
<shu>
it divides others! it itself must not be divided!
21:31
<justingrant>
Well, maybe they needed an excuse for why to make that character much wider than it needs to be, for consistency with other characters that are also unnecessarily wide?

I can kinda understand the split / in %
23:19
<Michael Ficarra>
it's only for italic monospace variants
23:19
<Michael Ficarra>
making % italic is probably really awkward, especially in monospace
23:27
<ljharb>
italic % and รท might get overlappy
