Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell Programming Font with Ligatures

I just tried this in gedit and it looks *really* nice! Thanks for putting this together. Doesn't work in emacs though :-(

It's not that hard to make it work http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/23g9dv/oc_haskell_programming_font_...

Just to verify, this only works in those few terminals that support ligatures in fixed-width fonts, right? I tried on OSX with iTerm2 and no ligatures are rendered, just separate characters. But it's on the "not supported" list so no surprise. Anyone happen know how to get OS X font rendering to do it? The iterm guys are very responsive to feature requests or patches.

Ligatures are not used, it's
(setq haskell-font-lock-symbols 'unicode)
and tweaked font. The pic in reddit comment is of the stock ‘cocoa’ Emacs.

Correct. It seems OSX would give you ligatures "for free" with the included text rendering, but most terminals implement text in some other more complicated way.
