Description-en: Monospaced font with programming ligatures
Fira Code is an extension of the Fira Mono font containing a set of
ligatures for common programming multi-character combinations. This is
just a font rendering feature: underlying code remains ASCII-compatible.
This helps to read and understand code faster. For some frequent sequences
like .. or //, the ligatures allow one to correct spacing.
.
This font is expected to work in most text editors but won't work in most
(especially VTE-based) terminal emulators. A detailed list is available on
https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode#terminal-support
