FiraCode OTFeatureFreezer without ligatures

OTFeatureFreezer without ligatures

Open nashpatty opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

Is it possible to disable ligatures and use OTFeatureFreezer to build the font without ligatures? I can't find the code for it anywhere on the repo, if such a feature exists. I could use Fira Mono, but I like the increase in size of some of the characters, particularly the + and * symbols in Fira Code.

I think some people have used it, as far as I understand, it works for some features, but not for others

Sorry I didn’t read that thoroughly. People use it to enable stylistic sets, not sure about turning off ligatures. You might try disabling calt to disable ligatures

Yes. https://github.com/twardoch/fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer/issues/20#issuecomment-650642262 Due to the lack of binding to Unicode, OTFeatureFreezer cannot completely bake (enable) cv03-cv06, zero (cv11-cv13), cv14, onum, ss04, cv18, ss03, cv15-cv16, cv29. e.g. Cannot remap 'numbersign_braceleft.liga' -> 'numbersign_braceleft.liga.cv29' because neither has a Unicode value assigned in any of the cmap tables.
