Research direction

The issue provides a visual comparison but names no source files or tests. Start by locating the font's source glyph definitions for +, −, ÷, and =, then compare their horizontal bars with the attached image; done means the glyphs have consistent bar proportions and the equals sign uses two matching minus bars.
