However, not all IDEs, text editors, and terminal emulators support disabling the use of ligatures, so it's often easiest to just switch to a font that doesn't include them if you don't want them.
- debaserab2 3y agoJust switch the font variant to NL - no need for editor support.
- ammar2 3y agoDoesn't that depend on the font author providing a NL version? e.g if you want the FiraCode improvements[1] over FiraMono without the ligatures. Without editor support, you would have to build it yourself since they don't distribute a NL version.

- _jyty 3y agoThat's what I mean; it's often easier to use a font that doesn't have ligatures (like the NL variant) than to use a font with ligatures and hope your editor lets you disable ligatures.
- ammar2 3y agohuh, I'm surprised from searching that there isn't a quick tool to just disable ligatures given a font file. It should just be a matter of removing the ligatures in the GSUB table from the font.
