How to screw a perfectly simple email, putting the test in a PDF file made with Microsoft Word where double 't' is converted to tt ligature https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_(writing) and then PDF can't handle it, leaving me with incomplete text to send to LibreTranslate that can't be translated... just for a simple text of a few lines without any special formatting beside the ligatures.

@linja for VSCode I currently use Fira Code with the ligatures on:
https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode
It's based on Fira Mono.
I like that if I typo some coding punctuation/operator (which would usually form a ligature) it stands out; and I find that ligatures make for more readable code.

There are plenty of Discretionary Ligatures in Knedle—ch, ck, ct, st, www, And in some cases we use them for easier typing of symbols, such as different kinds of arrows, manicules, circled figures or heart. Because DLIG is love. And we love you.

It took me more than 2 months to notice that my current #terminal emulator (Tilix, https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/) doesn't support #ligatures.
I guess it tells you everything you need to know about usefulness of ligatures.
What about a #stylisticset which turns «Mastodon» into a little mastodon? Or just a native #glyph for 🐘 (U+1F418)?
Looking forward to all those little trunk tusk #ligatures.

@letterformarchive wow. Fantastic. Also, I’ve never seen a ‘ch’ or ‘ck’ like this before in a specimen. 🤔 #ligatures

Anisette is my new favorite #typeface. Wide #uppercase and narrow #lowercase set in all caps. Brilliant. And look at all of these #ligatures (!). by @typofonderie

Time to reference some more #glyphsApp help pages to see what I’ve missed or what to task next.
Also legacy (and non) combinations and #ligatures, too! 🙌 #typeDesign

@delve quantum. Hmm. What if each glyph in a typeface had markings or cutouts based on the glyph’s predecessor? “The” would have an altered “h” and the “e” would also change. Hmmm. Simple but fun. The entire face is continual #ligatures.
Yes, I’m enjoying it the show.
@danleatherman - I'm a fan of the #ligatures in the 'Raleway' #Typeface family.

Particularly like the reduced x-height in use on the 'ffi' ligature. 🙂
I've switched my default #typeface from Fira Code ( https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode ) to Iosevka ( https://typeof.net/Iosevka/ )
It's more narrow, but still very legible, so this way I can squeeze more code into the screen

#emacs #ligatures #victor-mono Can someone explain why some themes (doom-monokai-classic) can show font "correctly" while other (doom-monokai-spectrum) can't
Spacemacs + FiraCode + Ligatures :party_parrot:
Now my Python code doesn't look like it hates lambdas anymore.
Mostly followed the instructions from this blog post. I copied his display layer into my ~/.emacs.d to get it working with least effort.

Thanks to @lispyclouds
for pointing this to me.
