Description
Preferences for which character sequences should combine are both aesthetic and programming-language-dependent. It would be very useful to have variation selectors to selectively disable ligatures for each individual stylistic set. There are already a few one-off feature requests for various sets, so I'm suggesting uniform treatment for all of them.
My particular use-case is compiler command lines: command-line options of the form '--value=/path/to/x' merge the = and /, despite them being distinct tokens in this context.
Would it be possible to add some sort of configuration to get the "no ligatures" appearance for particular stylistic sets, without having to either disable all ligatures or build the font from source?
Thanks!
