Description

Is it possible to disable ligatures and use OTFeatureFreezer to build the font without ligatures? I can't find the code for it anywhere on the repo, if such a feature exists.
I could use Fira Mono, but I like the increase in size of some of the characters, particularly the + and * symbols in Fira Code.

Confirm whether a font can be built without ligatures while retaining the requested character sizing, then document the supported approach or the missing capability.
