Some of the “glyphs” (is that the correct term?), like the arrows (->, =>) look nice but some of the other ones (!=, !==) look too similar and would require a double take to be perceived correctly.

It’s an interesting idea and I like the use of the “hidden” features of the True/Open Type System, but I think some of the symbols need a bit more help. Very cool though!

Check out v. 0.5, I’ve made changes to === and !== so they are easily distinguishable from == and !=
