Code ligatures #39

Open DeltaRazero opened 2 years ago

DeltaRazero commented 2 years ago

Roboto Mono is a font widely-used by people to use in code editors, myself included. Some newer mono fonts for use in code editors contain the addition of ligatures for common programming multi-character combinations, such as Fira Code and JetBrains Mono.

Roboto Mono lacks these ligatures, and as such people have made scripts to merge the ligatures of these fonts into Roboto Mono. However, as they come from a different font altogether, they are quite obviously not in accordance to the style of Roboto Mono. It would be great if official code ligatures could be added.

Roboto Mono with ligatures: https://github.com/lemeb/a-better-ligaturizer/blob/master/output-fonts/RobotoMono.ttf

Just select the "Book" variant for the Roboto Mono font.

Yes that works (and that is what I am using right now), but in the end the ligatures are Fira Code's and do not fit Roboto Mono entirely.
