@mwichary I know they're not what you're looking for, but your post has given me an excuse to share these signwritten ones from David Kynaston in North Wales.

Just noticed that @mc_wiki's Garamontio font [https://codeberg.org/m-casanova/Garamontio] — 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!

Last but not least, some of the most extravagant #alternate shapes and #ligatures contained in the Luperca typeface aren't novelties, they're rather ancient shapes gathered from a variety of inscriptional sources, mainly intended to save #writing space. Sometimes, to find something new, you just have to look at the forgotten traces of the past. I hope that you liked this presentation! (6/6)

#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.

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

What would be the correct way to handle discretionary ligatures inside Glyphs (especially for arrow symbols)?
I'm currently doing it like this, while also having the original arrow symbols inside the typeface.

I'm so used to four space indents, that when I have to use two spaces I still want to *view* the code as four space indented. (There is one extension for VSCode but it is very yanky.)
Now I'm thinking, could I modify the font to render two spaces " " with ligatures as longer to appear as if it's four spaces? It would work pretty much always, no yank?

I had a short talk with @rainerklute about how to use #OpenType #ligatures in an icon font for screen reader #accessibility in PDFs.

that's pretty cool of him. but how does that help me with the CSS?
He so desperately wants me to adapt to using the #ligatures approach

Бісить, що комбінація "її" в дуже багатьох шрифтах виглядає так жахливо. Є декілька шрифтів із гарним варіантом. Чому навіть відомі українські видання та видавництва ними не користуються? Ось це Укрправда.
Why does the combination її look so terrible in most typefaces?

@timbray here is a totally different idea to address this: there are programmer’s fonts like #FiraCode that use ligatures to render multi-character sequences as more readable glyphs, e.g. “<=“ as “≤” or “->” as an arrow.
Maybe such a font could also render runs of backslashes with an overlay for their count. I.e four backslashes would be shown as “\\⁴\\“, and eight would be shown as “\\\\⁸\\\\“ (in very crude approximation) #ProgrammersFonts #Ligatures #Backslashes #FontDesign

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.

the only reason i use #foot over other terminals is because it respects #fontconfig. There maybe no #ligatures but I don't really need them.

@linja for VSCode I currently use Fira Code with the ligatures on:
https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode
It's based on Fira Mono.
I like that if I typo some coding punctuation/operator (which would usually form a ligature) it stands out; and I find that ligatures make for more readable code.

@letterformarchive wow. Fantastic. Also, I’ve never seen a ‘ch’ or ‘ck’ like this before in a specimen. 🤔 #ligatures

Anisette is my new favorite #typeface. Wide #uppercase and narrow #lowercase set in all caps. Brilliant. And look at all of these #ligatures (!). by @typofonderie
