Missing Ligatures in Microsoft Visual Studios #549

Closed JoeyJaySWE closed 1 year ago

JoeyJaySWE commented 2 years ago

Been using these fonts for VSC and loved it, however, work want us to switch over to MS VS and even though I can set the font family and it loads in, I can't seem to trigger the ligatures. Micrsoft Visual Studios 2022(x64-bit), V.17.2.3

This seems to like a problem with Visual Studio. Here's what I found on that matter. https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/font-ligatures-not-working/591741

Sorry for the late reply @philippnurullin But I wouldn't call this Issue being fixed and thereby I wouldn't consider the matter closed either. And the link didn't provide a solution to the problem, rather a "You are not alone".

If you read through the link trees not only would you notice that Microsoft has ignored the issue, or brushed the bug off as an idea, but they're also focusing on hyphen-based ligatures, while my issue is that no ligatures work at all. No ===, ==. !=. !==, =>, ==>. The reason I wanna clarify that it's not just a hyphen-based issue is that the threads specify a WPF bug with hyphens that trigger line breaks, however nothing about equal signs.

Furthermore, I tried the close all VS instances as suggested in the bottom, but made no difference.

Have you checked other fonts, e.g. Fira Code? There is an instruction and some discussion https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/422

@JoeyJaySWE is it working in your case? https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/wiki/Visual-Studio-Instructions Thanks @alexeyten
