Interesting article! Time to start a new crusade, I guess like I did for True Colors[1], and BiDirectional[2] text. This time for a better font shaping support.

Interesting article! Time to start a new crusade, I guess like I did for True Colors[1], and BiDirectional[2] text. This time for a better font shaping support. If you have ready tests it would help a lot. Personally, I am waiting for ligatures support to be merged[3] in alacritty terminal emulator.
Update: I started a list[4] of terminal emulators supporting it and not.

- pimlottc 7y agoRegarding your list, I'm not sure what specifically you mean by "font shaping", but VS Code definitely supports programming ligatures: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/wiki/VS-Code-Instructions https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/wiki/VS-Code-Instructions
- xvilka 7y agoYes, I know. I will extend the list with more information soon. Thanks for the feedback!
