Description
Hi. I think I was using an older version of the font before.
I got a new computer (Linux) and installed FiraCode.
Now when I do 3 dashes "---", I can see that it converts it to a ligature, but it has a small space separating the dashes.
On my other computer it creates a solid line. I like the solid line better for separating YAML blocks.
Is there a way to return the previous behavior with the latest version of the font?
In VSCode I have tried setting "editor.fontLigatures" to 'calt', but that did not work.
Any advice would be appreciated.
