Can Ligatures in fonts be turned off in Windows
Not long ago I wrote about the JetBrains Mono font. I liked it but it had ligatures I could not turn off in NB on Windows. To the rescue came Andrew Podkovyrin who forked a non-ligature version at https://github.com/podkovyrin/JetBrainsMono/tree/feature/no-ligatures-1-0-3/no-ligatures. When I first discovered the font I learned, possibly incorrectly, that it's the editor responsibility for disabling ligatures. It could also be a switch in Java. I have my solution in the forked font but I was curious, any suggestions?

Hello Ken,
Font ligatures in Java Swing are enabled with a text attribute:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/awt/font/TextAttribute.html
It should be certainly possible to selectively enable/disable it.
Unfortunately I have searched NB source code for LIGATURES but found
nothing relevant.
Someone more accustomed with the code of NB editor infrastructure could
tell where to intervene.
Regards,
Alex
