What does HackerNews think of Ligaturizer?
Programming Fonts with Ligatures added (& a script to add them to other fonts)

Having used FiraCode for a long time, I switched to a very customisable font called Input [1]. I really like the narrowest one for my terminal, as this allows me to fit more on the screen in horizontal direction.
I’ve used Ligaturizer [2] to update the font to include ligatures. I believe the ligatures are even taken from FiraCode itself. I wonder how it’s fitting it to the width of a character as it’s much narrower, but still monospaced.

You can add the Fira ligatures to any font with Ligaturizer. Personally I use it with CMU Typewriter.
I think NF Code does? https://github.com/sgigou/NF-Code
Input and Go Font are the two main coding proportional fonts I know. Neither advertise ligature support. There are hacks to copy ligatures from Fira Code in to other fonts but I don't know if they would work for this purpose. https://github.com/ToxicFrog/Ligaturizer
Any font can have ligatures now
Those are known as ligatures. Ligaturizer[0], which copies Fira Code’s ligatures into any font, may be of interest.
One can copy ligatures between fonts: https://github.com/ToxicFrog/Ligaturizer
That would remove my primary objection to Input. Seeing a broken arrow -> is ground glass in my eye; other font subtleties are a sign to me I'm losing focus.
