While we were able to fix most of them in the font design itself, we discovered that some issues are in fact caused by a [bug](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8146035) in the jdk itself. The bug has been fixed in the master branch of jdk9, and should be available in [early access releases](https://jdk9.java.net/download/) as of b117. If your particular JetBrains tools does not support yet jdk9, a [workaround](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-155229#comment=27-1420220) involving setting a system property is documented in the JetBrains issue tracker. \ No newline at end of file
