Add support for ligatures #3

Open Naereen opened 6 years ago

Naereen commented 6 years ago

[ ] I want the "latin" ligatures, using the unicode caracters ﬀ ﬁ ﬂ ﬃ ﬄ ﬅ ﬆ and 🙰 as input in the template, but using a proper ligature markup in the metadata.json dict, to effectively allow my font to use the handwritten character for ff or st (or ch or whatever) instead of just two "f".
[ ] if it's easy to do, I will do the same for maths and code characters, like FiraCode.
[ ] being smart about the "ligature caret" is mandatory (see how it works in FiraCode).

Naereen commented 6 years ago

It's too bad, everything is here to do it but it's quite hard.

Naereen commented 6 years ago

This script is much simpler, https://github.com/IlyaSkriblovsky/dv-code-font/blob/master/conv.py, I could use it to understand everything FontForge needs to have...
