[Mlterm-dev-en] Support for Pragmata Pro Ligatures

[Sam Stuewe]

Hello all!

I'm a C/Haskell dev primarily on Linux-based platforms and I've recently
acquired a copy of Pragmata Pro. I, unlike many (I think) devs in a
similar situation, I much prefer a plain TE-based text editor over a
large IDE, but there is one feature I'm missing: ligature support for
Pragmata Pro.

To my surprise and joy, mlterm was one of the few X TEs out there that
correctly renders Pragmata Pro (note: /not/ Pragmata Pro Mono) as
monospace despite its not quite being truly monospaced. However, mlterm
still does not render the beautiful ligatures that the font's creator
has made available.

It seems that mlterm already supports ligatures for various languages;
is it possible that it will eventually support Pragmata Pro's coding
ligatures as well?

All the best,

-Sam

I've never used pragmata pro, so I searched it and found this.

Do you want mlterm to support these ligatures ?

It isn't impossible, but it may take quite a time, sorry.
