> There are programming fonts that use ligatures to convert >= to ≥ It's a neat hack, but that's the opposite of what I want. It means I can't look at source code and know what characters make it up, which is the primary reason I'm still putting up with plain text files (and mostly ASCII) for source code at all. Out of habit, I occasionally type some control-letter combination which is a valid command in Emacs, but in Xcode (and other native Mac apps) inserts an invisible character, which happens to be invalid in Swift. 10 minutes later, I get a compilation error pointing at a line of code that looks perfectly valid. Frustrating!
