#ligatures

What would be the correct way to handle discretionary ligatures inside Glyphs (especially for arrow symbols)?

I'm currently doing it like this, while also having the original arrow symbols inside the typeface.

Playing around with arrow ligatures in Arcticons Sans.

I'm so used to four space indents, that when I have to use two spaces I still want to *view* the code as four space indented. (There is one extension for VSCode but it is very yanky.)

Now I'm thinking, could I modify the font to render two spaces " " with ligatures as longer to appear as if it's four spaces? It would work pretty much always, no yank?

I had a short talk with @rainerklute about how to use #OpenType #ligatures in an icon font for screen reader #accessibility in PDFs.

that's pretty cool of him. but how does that help me with the CSS?

He so desperately wants me to adapt to using the #ligatures approach

Reason $(S n)$ as to why I am not fond of #programming #font #ligatures:

+ $\in$
+ $\notin$

Look the same for me at my usual font size...

#Dafny mode for emacs uses a 'pretty mode' by default (Boo!), worse is that the option is not customisable (BOO!).

```{.elisp}
(defun no-prettification-in-dafny-mode ()
(prettify-symbols-mode -1))
(add-hook 'dafny-mode-hook #'no-prettification-in-dafny-mode)
```

Does anybody know a proportional font which has coding ligatures, e.g. `->` becomes a right arrow?

There are many mono-spaced fonts with coding ligatures available, like JetBrains Mono, but for note taking, I would prefer a proportional font.

Бісить, що комбінація "її" в дуже багатьох шрифтах виглядає так жахливо. Є декілька шрифтів із гарним варіантом. Чому навіть відомі українські видання та видавництва ними не користуються? Ось це Укрправда.

Why does the combination її look so terrible in most typefaces?

@timbray here is a totally different idea to address this: there are programmer’s fonts like #FiraCode that use ligatures to render multi-character sequences as more readable glyphs, e.g. “<=“ as “≤” or “->” as an arrow.

Maybe such a font could also render runs of backslashes with an overlay for their count. I.e four backslashes would be shown as “\\⁴\\“, and eight would be shown as “\\\\⁸\\\\“ (in very crude approximation) #ProgrammersFonts #Ligatures #Backslashes #FontDesign

Does anybody know of a monospaces #font with #ligatures for making nice looking #tablature?

Fira Code gets me close but doesn't always connect hyphens/dashes, as seen in the screenshot.

I suppose I could fork Fira Code but I'm kind of already on too many side quests these days.

Some work-in-progress standard ligatures.

The recent upgrade of #FreeBSD resulted in just about every program (Firefox, KiCAD, but not urxvt thankfully) rendering various #ligatures even in monospaced fonts. This is *really* annoying when looking at code, etc. I don't even know where to go to disable this insanity... any ideas?

$A screenshot of syntax highlighted code (struct & const are bold green; side_field, val, and qso_side are bold blue; char is red-ish) displayed in a monospaced font. Blue underlined numbers on the left indicate the code snippet is from lines 54-58. There is a bold red circle around the "fi" ligature in "side_field". The code itself reads: struct side_field { const char *tx_name; const char *rx_name; struct val *(*get)(const struct qso_side *); };$
