I see what you mean, and indeed that's hard to assess. It occurred to me that binarizing your image could provide a more objective measure of which glyph would appear heavier; here are some examples with the threshold set at different levels, close to the midpoint between 0 and 255:
I would say that they still tend towards the backtick being heavier, but of course, this is no scientific evidence of human perception :) just additional data to inform this discussion.

I could add a stylistic alternative for a thinner backtick - it wouldl be ss11
. Perhaps I'll do it next week, if I get time.

Looks great @cormullion! Here's what I see:
It's still more visible than the combining grave, but now it's not as overbearing, and better matches the apparent size of the single quote (yes, it's narrower, but it's also longer due to being slanted, so the "area" seems to be similar).
Thanks for the quick resolution!

Yes, that's quite an interesting point!
On lower-resolution displays, diagonal glyphs seem to lose some thickness. For you and me, with high-quality displays, it's true that the back quote is slightly heavier. But on Windows, the difference might be less. It's hard to replicate, but I can get this, with some effort, on my Mac:
and the difference in weight has definitely decreased.
If everyone was using Retina Macs, I'd certainly be happy to do this. But if I do, I might get comments from non-Mac users that the back quotes are too thin... ;)
Which means I'm undecided... 🤔

Hey @cormullion, is there anything I can do to help move this forward?

ss11 is in v0.023, give it a try
