  • Confusion over faces vs overlays
    1 project | /r/emacs | 2 Sep 2021
    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
