I guess ligatures are fine by me, I use them and have not been bitten. Editors should rather focus on showing whitespace somehow, I have been bitten by tab/space/CRLF many times!
- bee_rider 5y agoSpeaking of fortran, one thing that annoys me in Fira Code actually is that /= renders as some weird thing, rather than "does not equal." And of course it has no chance of understanding .ne. but that's fine. In LaTeX lstlisting you can sometimes get weird little underlines to explicitly show spaces in code. It looks pretty bad! I almost want a font that draws l as a lower case cursive l, although I guess it is probably better not to fix this problem as somebody out there will have a font that mixes them up.
