My concern is it made 0xABCDEF turn into 0xAB_DE_F. What happened to the "C"?

Given all three fonts show that issue, I expect TFA screwed up and forgot to put it in their edition buffer as they were taking screenshots.

Sorry, the missing C is just me being sloppy. The underscores are a C#7ism where you they are ignored and people can use them to separate LONG hex literals.

Yeah! Why is noone else talking about this? This was what immediately struck me when looking at the screenshots...

I noticed that immediately, too; I just assumed the author changed the source before taking screenshots and forgot to update it on site code. If a font was doing that, it would be criminal.
