Hello again,

I know why this wasn't working: the package does not contain the
FiraCode font with ligatures.

So, the solution is:

mkdir ~/.local/share/fonts/
cd ~/.local/share/fonts
git clone https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode
fc-cache -vf


Et voilà. After a simple restart of the X session, this works! :-)

I hoped to have the FiraCode fonts with ligatures without having to
install it by myself. I wonder why this font doesn't have ligatures in
packages, is this for compatibility reasons?


Thanks.

Hello,


this doesn't seem to help. From what I understood from the blog, it's
very neovimGTK-related. I don't want to change my entire working
environment here. I want to install some fonts that should be available
on many terminals.

I do know that konsole is fine with ligatures. I can use another one,
don't really care. But I do want it to be available on the entire
terminal, not just for programming stuff.


Thanks,

No sure about konsole, but take a look at this blog post by Wesley Moore:

OpenBSD terminals and ligatures

[Philippe]

Hello dear openbsd users,

I would like to install a font (Fira Code), with ligatures.

I installed the fonts (pkg_add fira-fonts), and konsole (pkg_add
konsole) because it is supposed to work with ligatured fonts.

I launched konsole, and selected the right font, but there is no
ligature. I did the exact same thing on a Linux platform and it works.

Am I supposed to do anything else? I don't know if the problem is
konsole, or something related to the fonts. Didn't find any specific
option in konsole related to ligatures.

Also, I'm on OpenBSD 6.4. There is nothing related to ligatures in the
FAQ, and I spent quite some time to even find there was a package for
Fira fonts.


Thanks,
