Description malcolm.mielle 2016-04-10 14:10:32 UTC 
I used to have font ligature on kdevelop (for example using firaCode the '==' would become one character only) and it doesn't work anymore. Weirdly, it works perfectly fine on Kate.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. change the font to firaCode or other font with ligature
2. enter something like == or <=
3. nothing happens

Actual Results:  
Nothing while it should display only one symbol, I still have two symbols

Expected Results:  
I should see only one symbol

I've found that it might be FiraCode's fault because version 0.6 works. Although every other version of FiraCode works with Kate but not kdevelop.

This works using KDevelop 5.2-git and FiraCode 1.205 (latest version).
