unicode-fonts-force-multi-color-on-macset to non nil). - Enable support for font ligature in Emacs 27 + via ligatures.el.
2. Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to
add unicode-fonts to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this
file.
If using emacs-plus, you can set unicode-fonts-force-multi-color-on-mac to
enable color emoji.
(unicode-fonts :variables unicode-fonts-force-multi-color-on-mac t)
If you want ligature support Emacs must be built with Harfbuzz and a ligature
font must be installed and configured you can see the upstream docs for a full
list of requirements. By default this is not enabled you can enable it with
unicode-fonts-enable-ligatures.
(unicode-fonts :variables unicode-fonts-enable-ligatures t)
By default ligatures will be enabled in all programing modes.
You can enable ligatures for specific modes with
unicode-fonts-ligature-modes variable.
(unicode-fonts :variables unicode-fonts-ligature-modes '(php-mode js-mode))
To enable only for text modes you can use text-mode
(unicode-fonts :variables unicode-fonts-ligature-modes '(text-mode))
To configure the ligature set that gets used with your font there is a
unicode-fonts-ligature-set variable. To only enable the ligatures in
if statements you can limit the unicode-fonts-ligature-set
(unicode-fonts :variables unicode-fonts-ligature-set '("==" "===" "!=" "!==" "||" "&&"))
