Are you seeing garbled text in Mac Word when trying to use Cascadia Code?

This is because older versions of Mac Office don't enumerate variable font data correctly :(.

To resolve the issue:

  1. Install the latest version of Cascadia Code
  2. Upgrading to the latest version of Mac Word (must be at least 16.46)
  3. Clear all font cache files.

If the fonts have been installed before, the contents of the following folders must be deleted:

~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.XXX/Data/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/FontCache
~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.XXX/Data/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/FontPreviewCache

Where "XXX" is the application's name (e.g. ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/FontPreviewCache).

(thanks @thlinard! https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/issues/329#issuecomment-780627032)

  1. Restart Word. Everything should be working now.
