https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D209627 --- Comment #2 from Dave Cottlehuber <dch@skunkwerks.at> --- sure: it has ligatures specifically designed for programmers, where 2 keyst= roke pairs like <=3D && || -> <- !=3D are used for 1 specific glyph or meaning. This font increases editor & terminal readability dramatically, especially = if you use functional programming languages like erlang, elixir, haskell, ocam= l, clojure, scala etc where these symbols crop up frequently. it makes most sense when seen pictorially: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tonsky/FiraCode/master/showcases/all_liga= tures.png which compares firacode (with ligatures) and fira mono (the X11/fira version without ligatures). fira-webfont: https://i.imgur.com/hZNSTHA.png many different weights and st= yles specifically for browsers and not for console use, & has no no ligatures. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
