Opentype features? Specifically: prefer slashed zero

[zambetti]

Does anyone know if there is a way to select opentype font features?

The mono type face I prefer has a slashed zero, but not as a default.

It seems VSCode handles this with "editor.fontLigatures"

Using the patterns in settings.json, I suppose font features could be selected like this?

"buffer_font_features" :
{
"slashed_zero": true
}

The keys inbuffer_font_features are the names of the opentype features you want to enable/disable. You'll have to check which feature controls them in the font you are using as that appears to not be very consistent. The webpage of the font should contain a listing of features and what they do, but that failing you can drop the file onto https://fontdrop.info/ and it'll show you a listing and attempt to show the effect of each feature (it has trouble with ligatures, but glyph variants at least should be fine).

Thank you jansol, this worked for me...

"buffer_font_features" :
{
"zero": true
}

Looks like this was added just a few weeks ago in 0.7.9.1, perfect!
