All right, no worries. It would make the slides a bit prettier, but
Pragmata is also beautiful without the ligatures. Now that I know it's
non-trivial, I will do other things!
Thanks!

Ligatures in coding fonts generally, and in Racket / DrRacket specifically,
are a terrible idea. Even worse than `eval`.

The DC<%> layer, however, should support drawing text with ligatures.

The `text%` layer currently manipulates characters individually.
Unfortunately, I think it would be a lot of work to change that layer
so that kerning and ligatures work in a `text%` editor --- but I
haven't actually tried it.

This is well-timed, as I was wondering precisely the same thing myself just
yesterday. Atom recently gained support for ligatures, and I was trying out
Hasklig, since I normally use Source Code Pro as my monospace font. I tried it
out in DrRacket as well, and I was disappointed (though not surprise
How does your editor draw the text?

Hello all,
I'm using the font Pragmata Pro to display code samples in Slideshow. In
particular, I've developed a sort of mini-IDE for Idris that can be
embedded in a slide, using the `interactive' procedure to show it.
Pragmata Pro has some very nice ligatures for code punctuation. In
