Hyphen ligatures create overlap with other caracters

[vorban]

Expected behavious : monospace font, standard spacing and character width. No overlap

What I get : As you can see, the " caracter overlap with the 0 (it is a double-quote).

I have done some testing, this happens with double hyphen -- and simple arrow ->. Writing several arrows or double hyphen in a row, separated by spaces, will eventually provoque overlap of entire words :

This will not happen in every code context... String litterals produce this effect all the time, I've seen it inside braces. I don't know if there's somewhere else it can happen.

I use vscode on linux.

Have you tried this with Fira Code?

Also which font weight are you using? ScreenSmart or regular?

[kiliman]

This is SSm Book on Mac.

I'm getting this issue too using the non-ssm version on windows

[kiliman]

Windows 10.

ScreenSmart

Non-ScreenSmart

Not sure if it's a context thing.

Can one of you paste the actual text that is having the issue (also, let me know what language that VS Code is using (lower right).

[kufii]

I have the exact same settings as the 2nd one. Interestingly when the text is highlighted it displays correctly. language is JavaScript snippet that messes up let x = '--> --> --> -->'

[vorban]

This is PHP

fontFamily : operator mono ssm lig book
fontLigatures: true
fontSize: 16
fontWeight: 300

If I am not specifying ssm, in the font family, vscode doesn't find it and fallback to default font.

[kufii]

ok, found out that with editor.renderWhitespace: 'all' it displays correctly

[kiliman]

That is super weird. It's working fine for me. Have you rebuilt the fonts using the latest version?

I even tested with editor.renderWhitespace: 'none'

Send me your email address to kiliman@gmail.com so we can troubleshoot.

[vorban]

@kufii not working with your fix

[kufii]

I'll try rebuilding my font and getting back to you

[vorban]

Me too, It's possible I messed up something

[kufii]

ok yeah rebuilding fixed things, don't know why that happened the first time

[vorban]

So I rebuilt everything from a clean version, which does not have SSm files, and it produced the Light and Light Italic versions only, but they work as expected. I suppose I had renamed files as SSm for some reason, and that caused the issue as they really weren't SSm. Thanks for the support !

[kiliman]

If you originally built the v1.0 fonts, those included Operator Mono Book in the ./build folder. Unfortunately v2.0 doesn't include Book, just Light. The build process didn't clean out the ./build folder so the Book font was still there from the old build. I can see how you could have been confused.

I'll try and get the Book version done this weekend. Thanks for your patience and troubleshooting this issue.

[kiliman]

I've added Operator Mono Book in v2.2.5. Check it out and let me know if you have any issues.

It works like a charm. Thank you !
