Well, I checked with Radon to really "see" the font is selected, and the ligatures work there. I would assume they also work with Neon.

Maybe you did not enable the StyleSets? I have no clue how StyleSets are activated with Kitty. You can also freeze the Sets into a specific fonts for example with https://github.com/MuTsunTsai/fontfreeze Monaspace says:

If you think that is not the problem please supply your Kitty settings.

Yeah, the font behaves properly in VSCode as well. Sorry, I should have double-checked. This must be a Kitty issue.

This must be a Kitty issue.

Just looked at Kitty docu, and it seems you need to

font_features MonaspiceNeNF-Regular +ss01 +ss03

in your kitty.conf.

Well, I'm not a Kitty user, but something along that lines should work.

Edit: Correct (?) config snippet
