  3. Just noticed that @mc_wiki's Garamontio font [codeberg.org/m-casanova/Garamo] — which I already considered excellent — has ligatures for "f" followed by an accented "i". The attached image (1) shows the usual "f" and "i" with an acute accent (with the usual contextual substitution disabled), (2) the default Garamontio contextual substitution of the "f" glyph with a narrower one, and (3) the ligature provided by character variant cv51 (examples are magnified 10pt text).

    Ligatures (or even contextual substitutions) for this situation are absent from a lot of commercial fonts — I had to create ligatures of my own for Minion 3. And Garamontio is free under the OFL — thank you @mc_wiki!

  5. #Epstein #Death Scene CBS News’s #forensic review underscores same pattern: no #evidence markers no #fingerprint or #DNA work, multiple #ligatures photographed in different places, safe w labeled CDs documented but not seized, later missing minutes from surveillance footage. Agents arrived hrs late; core #witnesses weren’t interviewed for two years. Those are not innocent mistakes; they R protective failures.

  6. It's late 2025, does any #Gnome or #Gtk #terminal application support #font #ligatures?

    Currently I tend to use #qterminal. Not I'll try #wezterm

  10. Does anybody know of a monospaces #font with #ligatures for making nice looking #tablature?

    Fira Code gets me close but doesn't always connect hyphens/dashes, as seen in the screenshot.

    I suppose I could fork Fira Code but I'm kind of already on too many side quests these days.
