Lowercase a and e look too thick and round

Lowercase a and e look very thick, and too big and round compared to other letters. This is especially noticeable at smaller font sizes. Screen Shot 2020-06-07 at 13 32 30

In Fira Sans, the "a" and "d" are approximately the same width. Screen Shot 2020-06-07 at 14 33 02 That doesn't appear to be the case here. The "a" almost looks stretched.

Just upgraded to fira-code 5 and can reproduce the issue. I believe this is due to a miss match between otf and ttf. The new versions of fira code on linux and windows advise using ttf, but I only supported otf. I don't have the time or the will redo this, with ttf.
