Ligatures please #80

Closed tadvi closed 6 years ago

tadvi commented 7 years ago

Awesome font but no ligatures. Would be nice to have ligatures for "!=" and "<-" .

dayfuaim commented 7 years ago

Yes, I confirm this. Also "->", "=>", "..".

Please. :)

Perhaps as many as /tonsky/FiraCode has? One of the things I wish Fantasque had.

Please do not implement ligatures. Ligatures looks nice BUT they may confuse. For example, minus + more = right arrow. But there is already unicode symbol like arrow.

Demonstrandum commented 7 years ago

@soviet-man No, just an option for ligatures. I don't see how it's confusing, those are the symbols they're ment to represent.

Also, unicode symbols aren't always understood by the compiler/interpreter, and thus would require a preprocessor, which just adds extra hassle.

Fira Code manages to pull it off perfectly well.

belluzj commented 7 years ago

Yes of course, when I take the time to do that, I will provide it as an option. And anyway, the font is open-source, it should be easy to build a version without the ligature code. Apart from that, I'm sorry but I have no ETA for this feature but I definitely will work on it at some point!

Closed because it's a duplicate of #64
