Somehow JetBrains Mono will cause Incorrect curly brace coloring in vscode

[Arteiimis]

like this:

when using default font:

It's the ligature, not sure if this can be fixed from within the font… If you try some other fonts that have ligatures for braces, e.g., Cascadia Code, Fira Code, or Iosevka, you'll observe the same behavior.

You can try:

-  "editor.fontLigatures": true,
+  "editor.fontLigatures": false,

it will disappear…

With Cascadia ligatures seem working fine

@mfocko but with Fira Code with ligature on it works fine...

Lemme double check, cause not all fonts with ligatures do the braces :D sorry about the misinfo

• Cascadia doesn't have braces ligatures… you can tell by turning the ligs on and off, there's no difference
• Pragmata has them for [[ ]] only
• TX-02 does for {{ }} only
• Iosevka for none actually 👀
• JetBrains for {{ }}

well yes… Fira doesn't have ligatures for braces either 😅

[mfocko]

loves the fact that he mentioned specifically all 3 fonts that don't have braces ligatures…

I thought it's more common…

[Arteiimis]

maybe provide a toggle to disable braces ligatures?

[mfocko]

I think JetBrains should have some SSs free for that :) and that's the good direction of this discussion, whether this kind of ligature should be enabled by default
