Code font with Haskell ligatures

[Ian Tuomi]

Hi all!

I've been working on an extension of the popular open source font Source Code Pro which adds OpenType ligatures for Haskell operators. It looks nicer to my eye than unicode symbols, and you can just use plain ascii for the text - only the representation changes. (here's a screenshot: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/i-tu/source-code-pro-L/master/SourceCodeProLSample.png)

Leksah was one of the few editors which support it out of the box so I thought I'd give you an early shout out.

Check it out:

All the best,

Ian

Hi Ian,

I like this very much. In german language "Hässlich" means ugly, and is spelled quite similiar to "Hasklig", but this font with ligatures is the opposite to me.

It works nice on Linux for me.

Leksah has an own replacement we call source candy, and I added a file for hasklig, which only replaces some names or symbols hasklig does not.

The file is in the github repo: leksah/data/candy-hasklig.lkshck. To use it copy it into the .leksah-0.13/ folder and rename it to candy.lkshc. Then restart Leksah.
