Adding ligatures #33

Closed maticbroz closed 11 months ago

maticbroz commented 11 months ago

Are there any plans to add ligatures? It's such a nice font, but "ff" is soooo far apart.

@erikdkennedy closed my request for ligatures, so I doubt it: https://github.com/erikdkennedy/figtree/issues/19

I suppose kerning/tracking could be adjusted for the 2 glyph instead?

Yup, from #19:

Figtree doesn't have fi-ff-ffi-fl ligatures and I don't have any plans to add them. (For context, many geometric sans serifs do away with these, and I don't see them as being of particular value. Worth noting that for Figtree, they'd be an especially big change, since the font name contains an "fi"!)
