Turning on font "smart kerning" or "texture healing" in Emacs
Apparently "smart kerning" uses the ligatures mechanism. I use Mickey Peterson's ligature.el package for ligatures support. To get the smart kerning to work I added more ligatures by hand using this package. For example the website shows the effect when you type "Moi": the "o" will shift a bit away from the "M" when you type the "i". To get that to work I added a "Moi" ligature:

It sounds like you might want ligatures? I use ligature.el but it only works on emacs version 28+.

Newbie here, how do I add ligatures to Emacs?
https://github.com/mickeynp/ligature.el will do it, but there are specific emacs version requirements and you have to enumerate all of the possible ligatures in your config. They have some examples of configuration for various popular programming ligature fonts.

> Is that the only way, or is there a way to disable ligatures but keep the rest of the font?
It's actually not that easy to use them with for example Emacs where you have to list every combination that you want to 'translate' to a ligature:

Confusion over faces vs overlays
ligatures are when multiple characters appear to combine into a single character ej, => transforms to arrow. emacs version and font used must support this to use it. GitHub - mickeynp/ligature.el: Display typographical ligatures in Emacs

Share your prettify-symbols-alist!
I don't really use any sort of symbol mode very often but when I do I much prefer using ligature.el with Fira Code.

Programming Fonts
Have been following this site for years. I also like checking the repo's commit history page [0] which is essentially a "what's new" for programming fonts.
[0]: https://github.com/braver/programmingfonts/commits/gh-pages
I also find monospaced fonts ideal for immersive reading due to their crude, un-decorated vibe which is good for keeping attention. So whenever I want to read a long article but don't bother saving it to Instapaper, I turn on the Dark Reader add-on, which changes all web fonts to a monospaced font I specified and cover the page with a sepia tone.
