Feature Request: Add config item for ligature-specific font

Open mzjp2 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

So, iTerm2 has this notion of using a font to use when rendering ligatures and a seperate fonr to use for rendering text. It'd be really nice to have this in extraterm. I'm running into some problems where I'm using pure as my prompt.

I use Roboto Mono as my font face for text, but want to use Hack Nerd Regular Font to render the ligatures. At the moment, my prompt is disfigured when using the Roboto Mono font face as it's a non-ligature font (or at least doesn't have support for that specific prompt symbol ligature). It works fine when I use the Hack Nerd Regular Font, but I don't want to use that as my text font.

Just to be clear, the original problem you are trying to solve with this is that you want Roboto Mono as your main but it doesn't have ligatures or it misses some ligatures, and so want to fill that gap by using ligatures from a different font.

That’s correct, yes!
