caskaydia-cove VS Ligaturizer

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.

You can add the Fira ligatures to any font with [Ligaturizer][1]. Personally I use CMU Typewriter + the Fira ligatures.

If only there was a way to only use some ligatures but not others! cough https://github.com/ToxicFrog/Ligaturizer cough

You can also use Ligaturzier to add ligatures to fonts that don't have them. My goto is consolas + ligatures.

Those are known as ligatures. Ligatuerizer[0], which copies Fira Code’s ligatures into any font, may be of interest.

One can copy ligatures between fonts: https://github.com/ToxicFrog/Ligaturizer

That would remove my primary objection to Input. Seeing a broken arrow -> is ground glass in my eye; other font subtleties are a sign to me I'm losing focus.

you can get ligatures here for plex mono, my fav https://github.com/ToxicFrog/Ligaturizer

The font is a ligaturized font and its name is Ligalex Mono. You can find it here.
