Support added in BBEdit 11

[153957]

According to the release notes of BBEdit 11 font ligatures are now supported:

You can now turn on font ligatures with an expert preference. This allows enhanced text rendering behavior in certain fonts, such as the work-in-progress Hasklig font which uses ligatures to enhance the display of compound-character Haskell operators.

Ligatures may be enabled or disabled per font based on the font's display name. So, if you wanted to enable ligatures only for the Hasklig font, you would do it thusly:

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit EnableFontLigatures -bool NO
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit EnableFontLigatures_Hasklig -bool YES

The font's display name is the name as it appears in the "Fonts" panel or in the Font Book application; not the name of the font file on disk.

Thanks, that's great news! I added BBEdit 11 to the supported editors in the readme: a571abc
