Italic variants of a and o at default/smaller font sizes are difficult to distinguish #416

Hello,

I'm currently using the latest version of Jetbrains Mono v2.225 (Windows 10, with 1920x1080 resolution).

And, it is slightly difficult to distinguish italic variants of a and o at default/smaller font sizes at first glance.

I could see that v2.200 changelog includes - "Removed the "tail" in the italic a.". It was easier to distinguish with a tail in the older version IMHO.

Can you please take a look into this?
