Description

Screenshot_20241026_204631

In the above picture, it is not clear if the slightly tilted vertical bar at the top right corner of V is a prime or an italic l.* This is a request to add a small hook to the bottom of the italic l to recognize it from a prime. Also, the horizontal distance between V and eff is slightly more than it should be, and the distance between eff and (r) less than it should be, imho

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by locating the italic l, V, f, and r glyph definitions in the font source and render the affected sample to compare the current hook and spacing with the screenshot. Done means the italic l is clearly distinct from a prime and the requested spacing relationships are corrected.
