vim/gvim and ligature support

[Manfred Lotz]

Hi there,
I am on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and vim/gvim is 8.1.2269.

I love ligature support in the editor and I like to understand how
ligature support works in vim.


vim

Here it is easy. If the terminal has ligature support then it is
automatically available in vim.


gvim

Here I only can say what my observations are.

In my settings I have

if has('gui_running')
set guifont=Fira\ Code\ 13
endif

Now ligature support is available with certain themes I use. But with
some other themes there is no ligature support.

Question: How does this work in gvim?


Thanks.
