Description

image

This is Fira Code Retina size 14 (on Pycharm). I can also see the issue (but not as bad) on other editors:

(Sublime Text), and also in any other version of Fira Code. In fact, I think Retina minimises it. It seems that they're not quite mirror images of each otehr, and when they're small this can affect things.
