Invisible equal sign with Monoid font

[langston-barrett]

When using

$ termite --version
termite v11

when I type "=", nothing shows up. When I type "=>", only after I type the ">" does the "=" appear. If I type "<>", I get "=>" (but if copied to the clipboard, "<>" comes out). Any ideas on why this is happening? Or how I can disable this behavior?

Here's my config:

$ cat ~/.config/termite/config 
[options]
font = Monoid 9

[colors]
background = #F9F9F9
foreground = #383838
foreground_bold = #B58900
foreground_dim = #675B83
cursor = #4B7CD7

# black dark/light
color0 = #DFDAEB
color8 = #F9F9F9

# red dark/light
color1 = #EB6466
color9 = #A31416

# green dark/light
color2 = #859900
color10 = #586E75

# yellow dark/light
color3 = #B58900
color11 = #675B83

# blue dark/light
color4 = #268BD2
color12 = #839496

# magenta dark/light
color5 = #D33682
color13 = #6C71C4

# cyan dark/light
color6 = #2AA198
color14 = #93A1A1

# white dark/light
color7 = #EEE8D5
color15 = #FDF6E3

Turns out, this only happens with the "Monoid" font. This is unique to termite.

Could it have something to do with ligatures? I was going to suggest trying the default colorscheme (if that's not already it).

[langston-barrett]

@polyzen It does seem to have something to do with ligatures. It happens with the default color scheme as well.

[langston-barrett]

From the Monoid readme: "Monoid uses calt and Monoisome uses calt + liga which aren't supported by all programs."

[thestinger]

Please test in another VTE3 terminal, such as the vte-2.91 test application shipping with VTE.

[langston-barrett]

Can confirm that it does work with the non-ligatured version of Monoid.

[thestinger]

It's unlikely that this is Termite-specific rather than a VTE issue.

[langston-barrett]

@thestinger or @polyzen, Could you file an issue with them about ligatures? I don't have a bugzila.

[felixsanz]

@thestinger Happens here in Fira Code too.

If its the font fault, why it doesn't happen on other terminals?

[thestinger]

I didn't say it was the font's fault, I say it was a VTE issue. It's not in the scope of Termite.
