[Release Candidate] v2.012 ttf Build is Available

[chrissimpkins]

We are making headway on a number of issues that have limited use on some platforms/in some editors/with some syntax highlighting themes.

This build addresses the following issues:

• Middle dot bug in editors that use whitespace highlighting (Missing U+00B7("MIDDLE DOT") in Regular and Oblique #27, There's no visualize whitespace dots #46)
• Improvements in Powerline glyph alignment and size (Powerline symbols are incorrect #33, getting there...)
• Changes to name tables with possible fixes for:
  • Incorrect italics rendering in JetBrains editors on OS X ([OS X] Oblique slant does not display properly in Intellij IDEA/WebStorm/PyCharm #26)
  • Incorrect character symbol rendering in bold + oblique + boldoblique syntax highlighters ([JetBrains, IntelliJ, Java renderer] @ sign breaks in javadoc tags like {@link hello} in IntelliJ IDEA #42, [JetBrains, IntelliJ] Bold and italic rendering bug #50, [JetBrains, Java Renderer] Display errors in PhpStorm when bold+italic #60)
  • Backslash incorrectly vertical aligned (too much right slant) in JetBrains editors ([JetBrains, Java Renderer] Backslash ambiguous in oblique fonts #67)

Note that the oblique fonts received a name change to Hack-Italic and Hack-BoldItalic in an attempt to address the numerous issues that came up with italic rendering.

Confirmation on all platforms would be greatly appreciated. Please post in the respective thread with reports of successful or unsuccessful fixes for the issue that was reported. Please include your platform and the application + version in which your tests were performed.
