## Fira Code: free monospaced font with programming ligatures

### Problem
Programmers use a lot of symbols, often encoded with several characters. For the human brain, sequences like `->`, `

### What’s in the box?
Left: ligatures as rendered in Fira Code. Right: same character sequences without ligatures.
Fira Code comes with a huge variety of arrows. Even better: you can make them as long as you like and combine start/middle/end fragments however you want!
Fira Code is not only about ligatures. Some fine-tuning is done for punctuation and frequent letter pairs.
Fira Code comes with a few different character variants (`cv01`, `cv02`, etc), stylistic sets (`ss01`, `ss02`, etc), and other font features (`zero`, `onum`, `calt`, etc), so that everyone can choose what’s best for them. How to enable
Some ligatures can be altered or enabled using stylistic sets/character variants:
Being a programming font, Fira Code has fantastic support for ASCII/box drawing, powerline, and other forms of console UIs:
Fira Code is the first programming font to offer dedicated glyphs to render progress bars:
In action:
We hope more programming fonts will adopt this convention and ship their own versions. Implementation detail: there is no way for programs to detect whether a font has progress bar glyphs at U+EE00, so they need to decide what to output without knowing if it will be rendered properly or not. We propose a new environment variable, `UNICODE_PROGRESS_BAR=true`, to use as a heuristic. If present, it’s safe to assume U+EE00..EE0B will be rendered properly.
Unicode coverage makes Fira Code a great choice for mathematical writing:
