caskaydia-cove VS Hasklig

Cascadia Code with ligatures and nerd fonts.

Over 10 years I've used Inconsolata, moved to FiraCode, and then switched to Cascadia which is the best thing Microsoft has ever made.

It’s a font that supports ligatures. I use cascadia: https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code

Cascadia Mono is what you want. Or you can turn off ligatures for Cascadia Code in your terminal/IDE or set them to off in the text style (depending on whether you’re using it for coding or typesetting).

Firstly, if you don't have a Nerd Font, you can install Cascadia Code.

Cascadia Mono/Code, depending if I feel like having ligatures:

https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code

It has the option to enable cursive italics, which is disabled by default. Been using it for over a year. No complaints.

I prefer Cascadia Code

The theme relies on the Cascadia Code font. In my case, I just extracted the CascadiaCode.ttf file in my Download directory, I’m not sure if it will work out of the box for people trying to use the theme.

Hasklig because it includes ligatures useful for programming (although mainly focused on functional programming) & is visually pleasent. https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig

Its 10000000% the font. I just tested Hasklig's regular font (this) and all of the boxes and question marks dissapear. Theres just one problems with this font. The text is weird af (pics below). It seems to like to smash characters together sometimes and others its cutting parts of them off.

Change to Hasklig font (https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig)

I like to change it up, but I like Ubuntu Mono and right now I've been using Hasklig

In case anyone is wondering, I use Nord theme and Hasklig font with font ligatures on.

self: super: { hasklig = self.callPackage ({ lib, fetchzip }: let version = "1.2"; in fetchzip { name = "hasklig-${version}"; url = "https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig/releases/download/v${version}/Hasklig-${version}.zip"; postFetch = '' unzip $downloadedFile install -m444 -Dt $out/share/fonts/opentype OTF/*.otf ''; sha256 = "sha256-8lY1m0P1qQIbR4e7kX68jVoKZmEfPWNwK3AFLoaBEak="; meta = with lib; { homepage = "https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig"; description = "A font with ligatures for Haskell code based off Source Code Pro"; license = licenses.ofl; platforms = platforms.all; maintainers = with maintainers; [ davidrusu Profpatsch ]; }; }) {}; }

I keep wondering if I should try out a font with ligatures (probably Fira Code or Hasklig), but I haven't yet. Does anyone here use a ligature font with Raku? I'm not sure if the ligatures would fit right in with the Unicode glyphs or get confusing.
