Disable ligatures in progress bars

JetBrains/JetBrainsMono#151

[nilp0inter]

This still happens on progress bars of some command-line programs. Can it be fixed in any way?

For example this is a progress bar that appears when loading a docker image with docker load:

Do you have the latest version of Fira Code installed?

[nilp0inter]

I use Arch and have the latest available version which is 4-1. AFAIK is the latest.

Try ttf?

[tonsky]

@nilp0inter which terminal are you using?

[nilp0inter]

@tonsky , I am using QTerminal.

[nilp0inter]

@mfocko , already tried ttf, same results.

[tonsky]

Might be an issue with a terminal. Can you try it in any of the supported editors? Just to make sure?

[nilp0inter]

I tested using Konsole, exact same result:

This is the raw console text it is trying to render:

$ docker load < result                                      
4ce9f247a3c6: Loading layer [==================================================>]  49.66MB/49.66MB

And these are the hashes of the fonts, just in case:

$ pacman -Ql ttf-fira-code | grep '\.ttf' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs md5sum
68e73b469a459295f740f1fc45623996  /usr/share/fonts/TTF/FiraCode-Bold.ttf

0a3633106a704cd28b1648faa53cfbf3  /usr/share/fonts/TTF/FiraCode-SemiBold.ttf

I will try some more terminals.

[tonsky]

Seems to be correct md5. What about e.g. Sublime Text or VS Code, which are known to work? Can you try there?

This is what I see in Apple Terminal:
