02/03/2020, 2:00 PMHi! I’m cross-posting this from #android-studio. I installed the [JetBrains Mono](https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/) font in Android Studio (macOS) and enabled font ligatures, but it seems to be replacing

02/03/2020, 2:10 PMThat's totally weird. Don't have an answer, but I'm sure some of the first questions will be 'What OS?' and 'What version of IntelliJ?'

02/03/2020, 2:17 PMCan’t believe I forgot to mention it’s macOS 😅

02/03/2020, 4:09 PMWow, super weird. I'm on Linux and have been using Fira code with ligatures for past several years, ligatures should be rendering feature, they don't (can't?) change the text itself. Maybe MacOS does something weird?

02/03/2020, 4:22 PMMaybe MacOS does something weird?no, not as far as I know. I use display fonts with ligatures turned on all the time without issue, in both intellij and neovim/iTerm

02/03/2020, 6:04 PMI’ve been using AS on a Mac with Jetbrains Mono and have not had this issue. Maybe you’ve got some other program running that is doing something weird with the computer’s fonts/text/graphics/etc.

Gabriel Feo
02/03/2020, 6:49 PM@Casey Brooks, which version of AS are you using?
c
Casey Brooks
02/03/2020, 6:49 PMThe latest, 3.5.3

Gabriel Feo
02/03/2020, 6:50 PMYeah, ligatures are usually just visual, I’m even using Mono on IDEA with ligatures on
Gabriel Feo
02/03/2020, 6:52 PMI know it’s a weird issue, but I wouldn’t say it’s two different diseases 😅
Gabriel Feo
02/03/2020, 6:52 PMCross-posting has its downsides. Like I mentioned on the other one, I even reinstalled macOS (without wiping, just reinstalling system files) and it did nothing

02/03/2020, 6:57 PM@Casey Brooks, just a couple more questions 🤔
Did you enable font ligatures? Did you install the font through the OS and then select the regular one for the AS Editor (there’s 3 font options, I think)? Did you reboot your Mac anytime after doing that?
c
Casey Brooks
02/03/2020, 6:59 PMYes, ligatures are enabled. I installed the font manually, and then enabled it for AS and IntelliJ. Yes, my computer has been rebooted, and it worked fine before and after that

02/03/2020, 7:09 PMFor future, maybe 'share' the original post to this channel. Increase the likelihood of people looking at the other conversation before asking their questions. I didn't even think about looking for original post to see what, if any, conversation took place.

02/03/2020, 8:10 PM@Gabriel Feo wow that video is blowing my mind rn, this seems like a bug that isn’t physically possible lol
Shawn
02/03/2020, 8:10 PMI guess I wouldn’t expect the behavior to be different, but does this problem also manifest in another terminal emulator like iTerm?
Shawn
02/03/2020, 8:15 PMalso, are you certain you have no other keyboard behavior modifying apps installed like Karabiner for example

02/03/2020, 8:47 PMaText was the culprit! I just migrated my user account to this new Mac, and I set up Android Studio to use Mono and ligatures within the first hour. I didn’t realize aText data wasn’t migrated for some reason, and aText’s examples include a shortcut for an arrow character with -> 🤦🏻

02/03/2020, 8:48 PMThanks, @Shawn, @Casey Brooks, and everyone else who contributed 🙂
