Font Ligatures Support

(1/1)

geometric:
Hi, I use JetBrains Mono, Fira Code and a few other fonts which support font ligatures, in which two characters are combined to form one. (a common example is != becoming ≠) The font ligatures work in other editors such as VS Code, and other JetBrains IDEs. Is it possible that Code::Blocks can support ligatures in the near future?

Miguel Gimenez:
20.03 already supports them, I'm using Fira Code right now.

You just need to set Settings->Editor->Other editor settings->Technology to Direct Write and Settings->Editor->Editor settings->Font to Fira Code

geometric:
Thank you very much! I'm new to Code::Blocks and didn't know this existed.

geometric:
However, I noticed that the autocomplete suggestions become very large. Is it cause by this setting or not?

Miguel Gimenez:
That's a bug with text size calculation when using DirectWrite. I have it fixed on my system, but my patch was not accepted (and 20.03 was already launched anyway). See ticket 835 for more information.
