I can't get the ligaments to work

[FlatEarthGary]

Hello there! I have a problem getting the ligaments and font to work. Help would be appreciated!

I have followed the instructions from the READ.md file. I have all the prerequisites installed and I have downloaded and unzipped the folder with all the contents. I have taken the original file that I want ligaments to, being Operator Mono Book Regular and changed it's name to OperatorMono-Book, and copied it into the original folder.

I then ran "npm install" and then pressed the build batch file in the folder. This led to a new terminal popping up with a bunch of code and then the build folder was created. In the build folder there is "OperatorMonoLig-Book" as a OpenType font file and a "OperatorMonoLig-Book" TTX file. I have installed the "OperatorMonoLig-Book" as a font. Am I supposed to do something to the TTX file? Am I supposed to install the original font, Operator Mono Book Regular, alongside the "OperatorMonoLig-Book" or just "OperatorMonoLig-Book"?

Thank you for helping me out, have a great day!

It looks like the fonts were correctly generated. The OperatorMonoLig-Book font is the one that you want to install. You could install the original one as well. They show up as two different fonts: Operator Mono Book and Operator Mono Lig Book.

Update your editor to use the Operator Mono Lig Book font and enable ligatures. For example in VS Code, your settings should look like this. Note the different spellings of font family for Mac vs Windows.

{
  //@sync os=mac
  "editor.fontFamily": "OperatorMonoLig-Book",
  //@sync os=windows
  // "editor.fontFamily": "Operator Mono Lig",
  "editor.fontWeight": "400",
  "editor.fontLigatures": true,
}

Where fontWeight corresponds to following values:

• 100 Thin
• 200 Extra Light
• 300 Light
• 400 Normal/Regular/Book
• 500 Medium
• 600 Semi Bold
• 700 Bold
• 800 Extra Bold
• 900 Ultra Bold
