Possible to disable font ligatures? #666

Closed wanecek closed 5 years ago

wanecek commented 5 years ago

Is it possible to disable font-ligatures, e.g. as provided by Fira Code, in termite? They seem to cause strange issues with certain characters for me, and I'd love it if I was able to use the same font as per usual.

I realize that this might be an issue for VTE and not termite, but I can't seem to figure out if that's the case. vte-ng claims to not support ligatures, which indicates that a) the issue is out of date, or b) the ligatures feature is provided by termite.

It hit me that I probably misjudged the issue to begin with: Termite doesn't support font ligatures, which is why the font fails. I'll simply use another font (or use a ligatureless variant). Sorry for the confusion. Feel free to re-open if there's anything to add.
