SourceCodePro ligature incorrectly printed when whitespace rendering is enabled

[m-torhan]

Summary

If whitespace rendering is enabled, then typing "l l" results in "l·l" ligature being rendered.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. Enable whitespace rendering

[editor.whitespace.render]
space = "all"

2. Run helix and type "l l".

I expected this to happen:

Instead, this happened:

Helix log

No response

Platform

Terminal Emulator

Helix Version

We don't control how the terminal creates or renders ligatures. I expect that if you run echo "l·l" in your shell you'll see the same rendering

Yeah, you are right. Even typing it produces the ligature. I guess I will just change the character for whitespace rendering to solve that.
