I would love to see ligatures incorporated but I understand that is a polarizing opinion.

I love the little niceties of rendering arrows which are used all over the place these days.



I am personally not a fan of ligatures, but since they seem to be entirely optional and controlled by the IDE, I think it would be nice to see them included. For people not like me, because it won't hurt me, and will broaden the appeal.


I love this take, thanks for being pragmatic and open minded!


Yeah, I'm one of those people who has spent so long with ligatures that not having them is a deal breaker for me.

I use PragmataPro and have done for many years. It's pretty similar to this but has lots of nice ligatures.


Yup, instant purchase, if/when ligatures are added.


+1, this would be an instant purchase if it included ligature options. I like supporting font designers but for a mono font I need this.
