non-ligature version about monocraft HOT 19 CLOSED

Programing specific ligatures are bad https://practicaltypography.com/ligatures-in-programming-fonts-hell-no.html

While there are no other ligatures in this font, in other fonts I can't get ligatures that actually help me if I want to disable ligatures that impede me.

Having ligatures like these being triggered in regular expressions (or other kind of strings) can be quite annoying.
If this happens while reading someone else s code, then you can not just reorder the characters to fix the problem.

If you feel like making a non-ligature version I would be very grateful.

Ligature free version will be released as part of v2.1, which I will make available sometime tonight after finishing up with a few other issues!

I can't believe that somehow programming with the Minecraft font is fine, but adding ligatures is just one step too far...

Most applications that support ligatures also support turning them off

VisualStudio doesnt support turning them off. afaik

from monocraft.

Yeah many applications don't support disabling these. I'd download a zero ligatures version.

from monocraft.

I agree. I do not like ligatures one bit.

@IdreesInc pls pls I'd love to use this font :)

from monocraft.

I just want to add my voice, please make a non-ligature version. I don't think it's a good practice to make ligatures that look like different, also valid characters, but if you are not bothered by them, more power to you.

from monocraft.

Please this.

from monocraft.

yes pls

It might be a good idea to lock this. I’m not sure any more productive conversation can be had unless it’s @IdreesInc saying something.

Here's a version with ligatures removed using opentype.js library

@keupoz The font you posted doesn't render at all for me. System is Windows 11

oops, yeah, I see it's broken, need to investigate more how to properly remove ligatures

@Xaeroxe never worked with fonts before, I also renamed the font to "Monocraft Unligatured" just in case and looks like one of name fields can't have spaces. This one should work

@keupoz same problem

from monocraft.

@Xaeroxe idk then :( Maybe deleting ligatures manually with Font Forge may help because looks like the font was made in that program

from monocraft.

yes,It's a important thing.
