5 years ago Just off the top of my head --
- ligatures.py defines the mapping from character sequences to Fira Code ligature symbol names. You'd want to produce an appropriate ligatures.py for your use case that instead maps them to Unicode codepoints or character names appropriate to the source font you're using.
- ligaturize.py get_ligature_source is used to find the font it's meant to be copying ligatures from; you'd need to update that to return the path to your source font.
- copy_ligature_from_source is responsible for actually getting the ligature glyph out of the source font; it might work out of the box with unicode codepoints, not sure. In any case you'd need it to find the unicode character you want and
copy()it. - add_ligature is where the heavy lifting of pasting the ligature glyph in and then creating the appropriate contextual replacement rules for it happens, and will probably work with no further modification if copy_ligature_from_source did the right thing.

Hi @ToxicFrog ,
I'm trying to extend a font in such a similar way to that which you have done here that I was hoping you might be willing to give me one or two pointers, ideally on modifications that could be made to your code to make it do what I want :smiley:.
What I want to do is add ligatures, not for coding but for LaTeX. There seem to be two main differences between what I want to do and what you've done.
Would you be willing to give me an idea of what I'd need to modify from your script to make this possible?
thanks,
tecosaur
Addendum: Regarding using the unicode string → character name I imagine unicodedata.name could be useful
