Configure Atom
Enable Ligatures
To use Fira Code properly you need to enable ligatures. There are two ways to do this, see below:
Ligatures - Quick install
Bring up Atom and go to Settings > Themes. Search for Operator Mono and install.
This syntax theme has been built to support this Fira Code, it is built from scratch using the Oceanic Next Italic palette and it will enable ligatures, and make certain attributes italic. It will also be your theme.
Ligatures - Manual install
If you prefer to use your own syntax theme, you have to edit your styles.less and insert these lines:
atom-text-editor {
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
&.editor .syntax--string.syntax--quoted,
&.editor .syntax--string.syntax--regexp {
-webkit-font-feature-settings: "liga" off, "calt" off;
}
}
Enable "Operator Mono" font
In order to enable the alternative font for italic, which is probably what you came for, you have to manually edit your styles.less file and merge the code snippet found in styles.less in this repository with your own.
If you have any personal preferences, such as applying "Operator Mono" for comments as well, just add .syntax--comment in the css selector list.
Troubleshooting
Atom version
The instructions / code works for the latest versions of Atom (1.20.x) and Atom Beta (1.21.x). Please make sure your editor is updated.
Are your ligatures not being applied correctly?
- In Editor Settings, you might need to enter "Fira Code" in "Font Family"
- Hunt down and disable interfering packages that modifies fonts, such as "fonts"
