feat: ligatures

[efc-ls]

Hey,

is it possible to set custom ligatures?
So that my html can look like this:
<span class="fontclass">iconname</span>

[alexander-akait]

ligatures? Do you mean class?

[efc-ls]

Let me explain what I want to do:
If my css looks like this:

@font-face {
    font-family: TestFont;
    ...
}

.test_font {
    font: normal normal 400 14px/1 TestFont;
    ...
}

.test_font-house::before {
    content: "\ea01";
}

So I can use my html tag just like this:
<span class="test_font test_font-house"> This is a text</span>

-> HouseIcon This is a text

also this:
<span class="test_font">&#xEA01; This is a text</span>

-> HouseIcon This is a text

But I want to achive this:
<span class="test_font">font-house This is a text</span>

-> HouseIcon This is a text

As I researched correctly this is solved with creating ligatures. Those are added in the "gsub"(?) part of the *.tff and *.woff

I think you can use custom css template for this case and generate own css

Well, IMHO it's not done with just creating css. The text has to be rendered into the icon..
Anyways I'll find a workaround, I was wondering if there are any possibilities.
Thanks :-)

@guluws thanks for suggesting this feature.

@mpalpha added the PR #191 and we've just merged.
We will plan a release soon, and you find issues related to glyphs and ligatures, please feel free to share 😄

@jimmyandrade this has long been released since, correct? In that case, the issue can be closed?
