Fira Code rendering on Linux

[vv9k]

Describe the bug
When using the Fira Code font spacing seems to be too small between some characters. I've underlined some examples but in general there seem to be some spacing issues, which makes neovim-gtk unusable for me :(

Technical information (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux + bspwm
• Neovim version: 0.4.3
• Neovim-Gtk build version: 0.2.0-1 (installed from AUR)

I am using the neovim-gtk-git package from AUR and I don't have this problem (using Fira Code too), could you check if the problem reproduces with that package?

[vv9k]

Can confirm that installing neovim-gtk-git instead of neovim-gtk fixed the problem. Fonts look much clearer and everything is lined up properly.

Hmm, on openSUSE/Tumbleweed (Gtk 3.24, Pango 1.44.7, neovim-gtk from the commit 0af8952) I get this (on the left side neovim-gtk, on the right side regular neovim in gnome-terminal 3.36.2):

Neovim-gtk still looks significantly worse, IMHO.

Probably a dupe of #208

Probably a dupe of #208

@ford-prefect Is it? I have the latest commit from the master here, so according to #208 it should be resolved. And yes libpango-1_0-0-1.44.7+11-1.4.x86_64.

Ah, my bad then, sorry about the noise
