Description

Thank you for a lovely font.

Input: make the = a bit wider. Its so short that it feels like a square.

I can see im not the first one with this input: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/86#issuecomment-172000022 as its not addressed in its own issue I have made this one.

Research direction

Start by reading the referenced comment on issue #86 and locating the source definition for the = glyph in the FiraCode font repository. Compare the current glyph with surrounding symbols and verify the revised glyph visually at common sizes. Done means the equals sign is visibly wider and no longer feels square.
