Feature request: OpenType font features configuration #94

Closed solbjorn closed 6 years ago

solbjorn commented 6 years ago

Is it possible to implement along with already presented ligations?

For example, I use Iosevka's (https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka) "PURS" extended ligas and several "stylistic set" touches. Can it be enabled/disabled in Neovim-GTK?

And one more, no plans to make global light/dark GTK theme switch accessible from config, not only env?

Looks like easy task as pango support this (pango_attr_font_features_new) :smile:

Question is how it must look like, like addition font attribute? Or maybe better as separate command, so features can be changed without changing font settings.

daa84 commented 6 years ago

Dark theme switch was implemented with some PR so i don't know why it is env, maybe it produce flickering in case it will be in config, not sure. If you want this feature, please create separate issue for it.

Yep, sure.

As for font features configurations, a separate command seems more attractive and flexible, e.g. you could manually turn off ligatures at all (<"liga" off, "calt" off>) earlier in config and then change fonts without features setup overriding or loss.

How it looks like now in Atom:

-webkit-font-feature-settings: "cv17" on, "cv19" on, "cv21" on, "cv23" on, "cv30" on, "cv31" on, "PURS" on;
