Description

I'm using the current version of RStudio and notice that the only hyphenated arrow combination is <-; <-- and <--- do not render as arrows of length n-hyphens.

I noticed this with Fira Code 3. I just wiped all existing Fira font files and did a clean instead of Fira Code 4. Same result.

Should this be activated by default or do I need to a tweak a setting somewhere?
