Would it be possible to have a != ligation that is more in line with how we type it? #2378

  • A programming language requires this ligation. Provide the information below.
  • This ligation is implemented in other programming fonts. Provide samples below.

Hello! I'm not sure if this is possible to do, and probably a personal issue I have with some particular ligations, but i find ligations that change the symbol really difficult to parse when writing code. As an example, we have the ≠ symbol, which is typed !=.

In a code editor I'd really love for a ligature to be closer to the characters that a ligature is composed with, but look nicer. I feel this is a great improvement on visual recognition, and much more friendly when pair programing and sharing a screen.
0xProto uses this approach. Here's how the not_equals looks like:

Would this be something that is even possible to implement? I don't particularly enjoy 0xProto, but I find the ligations there to be beautiful.
I find Iosevka (extended) muuuuuuuch nicer than anything else I've ever used, this type of ligatures would make this the perfect font for me :)
