Enable ligatures by default #928
Comments
@LeaVerou looks like a promising feature but wondering
|
Btw, I edited the first post and added a request for hyphenation too, as it also falls in the same bucket of a nice enhancement that rarely isn't needed. |
We previous discussed the idea of adding hyphenation in #708 |
Cool, changed it back to only suggest ligatures then :) |
As with prefixed hyphens, I am wary of adding prefixed features. It would be great if we can have a more readable version |
I'm good with letting this feature bake a little more as well. Might be a matter of months, but in case of edge cases (see: optimizeLegibility and antialiasing issues), i'd rather wait |
I've heard from a dev at this place I'm working that Firefox 10 has a bug where it displays nothing in place of a ligature, if the font you're using doesn't have the corresponding ligatures. Haven't had a chance to check it out or get more details. |
I've added a note about ligatures in the CSS section of the Extend and customise-wiki-page. For the moment it seems like we should not add this by default if it may cause problems with custom-fonts and is not supported in browsers yet. If you all agree, let's close this for now. I've reduced this test-case (from this article) to use prefixes (via prefix-free) in this dabblet. |
Agreed. Thanks for this @drublic |
You can view the result page in every browser. Just add /result/ before /gist/ |
@drublic Please add these potential problems (and the test case + link back to this issue) to the wiki and then close this issue. Thanks! |
I can't really think of any case where somebody wouldn't want them, except in code.
