Ovepass fonts doesn't look too good in Visual Studio 2017

[MrClyfar]

I've installed the Overpass Mono font .otf file into my Windows fonts.

When I select Overpass Mono as the font to use in Visual Studio 2017, the end result does not look good at all. If you look at the attached screenshot, you'll notice that the font does not render well.

My question is whether this is because I'm using the font in Windows and nothing can be done, or something else to do with the font itself?

I'm having a similar issue on Debian Sid when displaying Overpass Mono Regular at size 9. I have tried all combinations of hinting (none, slight, medium, full) and anti aliasing (none, grayscale, subpixel), with identical results. The problem is not present at size 10 and above.

In Gedit:

In Sublime Text 3:

In Gnome font config:

I also have this problem on the browser.

Reapplying the latest version of ttfautohint with the family-wide features could help. If that isn't enough, developing a ttfautohint controls file ( https://www.freetype.org/ttfautohint/doc/ttfautohint.html#control-instructions) will be needed

I used FontForge to generate autohint and it seems to be solved, but I do not know if it was a bad idea. Here's the result:

Did you build the font from source on Debian Sid? I'm trying to make a debian package...

[alexmyczko]

or directly with https://packages.debian.org/sid/fontmake just that it fails for me for the latest font version

The issue affects also Overpass Italic variants.

Problem disappears when hinting the OTFs with https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/psautohint.
