Pipe-Bracket and Pipe-Brace ligatures are confusing {| [| |] |}

[kiprobinson]

Ligatures for pipe-bracket and pipe-brace combination are confusing. They appear to turn the pipe into a square bracket. This is especially pronounced in bold.

What I mean is:

• {| looks like: {[
• [| looks like: [[
• |} looks like: ]}
• |] looks like: ]]

Here are screenshots of the markdown for above:

Hmm. Maybe you’re right

[kiprobinson]

Maybe something more like this?

[j-f1]

Perhaps don’t extend the horizontal lines of the {[]} past the |?

IMHO it's now even more confusing than before. Can't recognize whether it's a closing or opening brace. Both are looking on LCD monitor like a box:

Actually I liked the previous version much more. Very subjective, but maybe this were better? #643 (comment)

[tonsky]

Yeah thx @vilinski I agree it’s confusing now

Is it possible to revert this change? The previous versions were much clearer and I never had any trouble distinguishing [[ from [| etc. because the spacing between vertical bars was distinct enough - these new glyphs just look like really bad kerning :/

[tonsky]

Not right now. Maybe eventually we’ll let everyone to configure their own font

In Ruby it's common to write list.each do {|item| puts item} and {| ends up looking pretty wonky.

Wondering what we can do to improve this?

[tonsky]

Gotta remove it then. Thanks!

@tonsky Do you mean I should remove it (and rebuild a local version of the font) or do you mean we should remove it from the font in general?

[tonsky]

Sorry for ambiguity. I will remove those in the next Fira Code version

have same issue with reading own ruby code {| looks funny :)

But I am guessing there is no ideal solution, shape.
