That's not always true. Reader may decide to not use ligatures and the code will appear as is for them. They're entirely optional.

- seemslegit 7y agoThis means they need to be aware of this issue in the first place and is yet another side concern to bear in mind, so yeah - externalized cost.
- true_religion 7y agoThe reader uses their own font with or without ligatures. There is no cost.
- seemslegit 7y agoNot really, too often on the web it is the font decided by the author or an intermediary - the above page is case in point or they wouldn't have been able to demonstrate it as I have never explicitly opted-in to ligatures at any point.
