I have checked open and closed issues and haven't really seen anything about it.. I don't know if it's possible utilizing VTE, but is there a way to utilize font ligatures?

The Guake drop-down terminal is intended to be a terminal-emulator, so system fonts should be set to monospace. By adding font ligatures, we are defeating the purpose of the terminal emulator, and the computer code may no longer be recognized properly. (I assume that you are speaking about fi, fl, ffi, ffl, etc.)

This issue is essentially #1649. The title of this issue is a little more descriptive of the functional ask than the other one, though I do feel like the issue body of the other one is quite nicely written. Still an effective duplicate of the other one so ultimately closing this one, though I do wish the older issue had a title closer to the base issue like this one.
