Note: Look over here to see the changes and compare the old and new versions: adobe/brackets@07c3de7 (Screenshots taken on a Windows 8.1, 1366x768 laptop)

The new version looks bolder and appears to be more readable to me.
I like it.

After trying this out with my normal preferences (13px, "SourceCodePro-Medium"), I found that superscript dot of letter i doesn't have much distance from its bottom body and seems to be touching each other.

After:

Before:

@sprintr Good observation! We should watch out for these kind of changes which are subtle but might impact the readability of code in general.

@rawat11 Please test specifically on MAC as there seem to be lot of font rendering issues on MAC and I am sure you will find a jewel in there 😄

@sprintr Another question. Are you seeing this with certain font sizes or are you seeing this in general with all the font sizes?

@nethip It happen for (16px, 19px, 21px, 25px, 28px, 42px) etc as well, but seems bearable. with 13px it seems touching.

@abose Yes, the new font is definitely more readable, our internal team is verifying it, will update once it's done.

@nethip On MAC, there is some issue with the font rendering, some of the characters are not clearly visible with the respect to the other characters on the same plane.
Also there visibility is increased once we increase the font size.

On increasing the font size

And on windows the same data renders nicely

Reverted the font to TTF. Though I like the OTF rendering in windows better, Some of the character glyphs doesn't work well in windows[see https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro/issues/98 for discussion].
