That's why the characters that trigger this rendering probably shouldn't be such common ones such as () or - instead opting for seldom used unicode points that plugins (such as autocomplete/snippets) can intentionally use. It's those little touches that make it feel solid/polished.Įven though some of us think it looks ridiculous when applied everywhere, I think it has a ton of potential when applied sparingly and only during certain interactions or select GUI elements like how Xcode does it. The rounded corners and different coloring tells you that you can "tab" through the placeholders:
Here's another screenshot of Xcode placeholders during "snippet expansion". mathjax-fraktur-fonts-2.6.0-3.5.noarch, Fonts used by MathJax to display math. You would temporarily want to render the placeholders of the autocomplete using rounded elements to indicate that they are placeholders etc. Iosevka in monospace, Pragmata Pro style, OpenSuSE Tumbleweed for noarch. For example, imagine building an autocomplete/snippet plugin for an IDE. I think it's a cool proof of concept and it would be best when used sparingly, not for the actual syntax itself. I think Fabrizio may have mentioned something about considering it in one of the other issues on here but I'm not sure where. So this behavior is not a bug in Pragmata Pro or anything quite like that but a difference with how editors and terminals handle the two different features.Īs you've noticed, it appears many programs currently provide a better editing experience with calt than with liga so the argument could be made that maybe Pragmata Pro should try to switch to using that too or at least provide calt support in addition to liga somehow. Technically this is a different feature and although many pro fonts do make some use of contextual alternates, it's not typically used for standard ligatures.
Pragmata pro fraktur code#
Pragmata Pro uses the liga opentype feature which is the standard feature for ligatures (more here and here) used in pro fonts.įira Code used to use liga also but awhile ago they switched to calt (contextual alternates). Pragmata pro The Freedom, Font Types, Ipa, Typeface, Typography, Graphic Design. It contents more than 10000 glyphs TrueType handinted for best possible readability at low sizes. The reason this happens is because of how the ligatures are implemented in the font. Monospaced font designed for coding and for engineering.
