Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the lowercase “i” rendering issue in Windows Terminal with the JuliaMono font and review the font-rendering path for locale handling. The change is complete when users can select the locale used for font rendering and the selected locale produces the expected glyphs; no specific files or tests are named in the issue.
