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 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature 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.

Fantastic Dutch Signs
You just never see I and J together in English, sadly.

@linja for VSCode I currently use Fira Code with the ligatures on:

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 emulator (Tilix, gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/) doesn't support .

I guess it tells you everything you need to know about usefulness of ligatures.

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

@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 .
Yes, I’m enjoying it the show.

@danleatherman - I'm a fan of the in the 'Raleway' family.

Particularly like the reduced x-height in use on the 'ffi' ligature. 🙂

I've switched my default from Fira Code ( github.com/tonsky/FiraCode ) to Iosevka ( typeof.net/Iosevka/ )
It's more narrow, but still very legible, so this way I can squeeze more code into the screen

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
