Iosevka is a nice one
Iosevka is way too thin for me. I'm going to try out Hasklig (moving from Ubuntu Mono)
Nothing cuts it, there's always that tiny thing that bothers me, and I'm back with Ubuntu Mono.
Now if only the TypeScript plugin were more reliable. Ligatures and TS support were the things making me consider switching. The TS plugin for Sublime is disappointingly buggy.
Honest question: Why would you want ligatures in plaintext? Especially in code, wouldn't that be weird as some people tend to manually align their code? Like, modular_raft = 10 spam = 20 The "ft" in modular_raft should convert to a ligature so (I assume) it will then take one character, instead of two. Then developers viewing that source would have different alignments, depending on whether they use Sublime 3 or not.…
Besides fancy programming fonts (which I have mixed feelings about), ligatures and other complex text shaping features can also be necessary for legibly rendering string literals in some non-Latin scripts, like Arabic script. Even if your code is all in Latin letters, you might have test data, UI text, etc., that's in something else.
I love the idea of ligatures, but I don't find Fira Code very comfortable. Any other recommendations? EDIT: Some fonts I like are Courier New and Droid Sans Mono.
Try Hack; I’ve been using it for a while and I really dig it! http://sourcefoundry.org/hack/

Are you saying this version of SL supports rendering Arabic with proper shaping?
Can i use operator mono with Fira code ligature?
Tangent: Any good resources to read up on typography? I feel like of all design related issues thats the one I have zero knowledge or insight on.
If you are going to read them I would recommend "Grid Systems in Graphic Design" and "The Graphic Artist and His Design Problems". "History of the Poster" is worth getting too. Make sure to get them as books, not PDFs. His lessons about margins and font size make a lot more sense when you are viewing them in the book laid out according to his own principles.
/edit The Vignelli Canon is a nice read too. See: http://www.vignelli.com/canon.pdf
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I nearly quit sublime after using an editor that supported this feature for a month. While sublime is vastly superior in my mind to most other editors (spacemacs and Vim in my book not withstanding) I make a lot of use of icons in the Nerd Fonts for custom icons so this is a huge plus for me. In my haste: forgot to link to the nerd fonts page! https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts For what it’s wo…

Perhaps the editor should include a method to turn this kind of options on/off with special sequences e.g. in comments.
