All characters (yes all) have been redone / re-thought at a higher quality.
Especially people using Comfortaa at large sizes will appreciate this. Spacing

others - you may notice changes to especially s and f. The Cyrillic

----------------------------------------------------------------------
check-parens is a simple program written in C++ to check LaTeX code for matching
parentheses, etc. I wrote it because I got annoyed trying to find difficult to
trace mismatched braces. It reports any errors/warnings with precise
compiler-like line:pos numbers to ease finding LaTeX compilation problems as
well as mismatches of parentheses in mathematical formulas. It also checks
matching delimiter sizes (i.e. left, ig etc.).
