Based on the code below, it appears the underlying drawing library would support it, but the editor layer built on top never passes #t
as the fourth argument to draw-text that I can see (https://github.com/racket/snip/blob/master/snip-lib/racket/snip/private/snip.rkt).
I guess it makes sense for there to be some way to set a property of a text%
object which, when enabled, caused it to create string-snip%
s that used #t
instead of #f
in those four places. Once that's done we could change code in the framework
library that added a mixin to control that setting via a preference and then DrRacket could add in that mixin.
#lang racket/gui
(define (draw c dc)
(send dc set-font (send the-font-list find-or-create-font 24
"Fira Code" 'default 'normal))
(send dc draw-text ">=" 10 10 #t))
(define f (new frame% [label ""] [width 200] [height 200]))
(define c (new canvas% [parent f] [paint-callback draw]))
(send f show #t)
is this still an issue? Please consider adding the label good first issue
so it is findable:

This post has convinced me that ligatures are a bad idea https://practicaltypography.com/ligatures-in-programming-fonts-hell-no.html
I'm no font expert, and I think @mbutterick is right about it. Still, this is a valid feature request. I don't think we should close it.
Is there a way to enable font ligatures in fonts like Fira Code?
