Hello Ken,
Font ligatures in Java Swing are enabled with a text attribute:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/awt/font/TextAttribute.html
It should be certainly possible to selectively enable/disable it.
Unfortunately I have searched NB source code for LIGATURES but found
nothing
Not long ago I wrote about the JetBrains Mono font. I liked it but it had
ligatures I could not turn off in NB on Windows. To the rescue came Andrew
Podkovyrin who forked a non-ligature version at
https://github.com/podkovyrin/JetBrainsMono/tree/feature/no-ligatures-1-0-3/no-ligatures.
When I
HI,
looking at the Java documentation it seems to me that using ligatures is
off be default:
from the docs:
/**
* Attribute key for enabling optional ligatures. Values are
* instances of Integer. The default value is
* 0, which means do not use optional ligatures
Is it possible to turn off ligatures in NetBeans? I like the new JetBrains Mono
font but it does ligatures that is a problem in teaching. I want != and not an
= with a / overlaid.
Ken
