Is it possible to get font ligatures (like with FiraCode) in drracket?

@me1890 I don’t think so yet but the comment on this GitHub issue seems to indicate it is possible, but needs implementation https://github.com/racket/drracket/issues/130\|https://github.com/racket/drracket/issues/130

Oh, thank for finding this. Perhaps i could try and make this if i made my own build of drracket

I don’t think you need to build the whole of DrRacket - which isn’t that hard though it might take a little time

Interesting. I’m not very familiar with drracket, but is it possible to do that kind of thing through the config files?

Which kind of thing?

Enabling ligatures definitely requires changing the code, along the lines Robby says in his comment

Okay, that’s what i thought.

I will look into it a bit

I may be a bit chippier in that comment than is warranted. It isn’t clear what else would break when that’s enabled….

But since the change isn’t super complicated, probably the best way forward is to try it out.

@me1890 if you do - don’t hesitate to ask for help - I’ll do my best to help if I can (I’ve got a few days off between now and Jan 4) And there are other helpful people here too.

I will see how hacking on drracket goes, I’ve only been working with racket for a few weeks, I’m sure i will be able to figure it out, but if I do run into issues, I’ll be sure to ask in here. Thanks!
