Description
Just as a test, I decided to make my editor font slightly smaller than what I'm used to.
As you can see, the !== ligature is misaligned, and the || has a slightly blurred left-hand line. Both these (and other similar) issues could be solved with hinting.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the screenshot's small-font rendering, focusing on the misaligned !== ligature and the blurred left-hand line in ||. Done means these and similar ligatures render sharply and align correctly at small font sizes; the issue names no files or tests.
