[Feature Request] Support ligatures with monotype fonts #1

Open arebee opened 5 years ago

Certain runs of text can be substituted with glyphs in certain monotype OpenType fonts. Examples might include replacing -> with →

Support for these substitutions can be seen in vscode, Sublime text etc using OpenType fonts like FiraCode.

Interesting. I'm using WPF's "GlyphRun" for rendering at present. It is unlikely to support OpenType but it could still be possible to convert certain sequences with double-widtb graphical representations. 🤔

Nuh huh https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/259 ;-)

WPF supports a bunch of OpenType features. it was a big selling point back in the day...
