OTFeatureFreezer without ligatures #1374

Is it possible to disable ligatures and use OTFeatureFreezer to build the font without ligatures? I can't find the code for it anywhere on the repo, if such a feature exists.
I could use Fira Mono, but I like the increase in size of some of the characters, particularly the + and * symbols in Fira Code.

I think some people have used it, as far as I understand, it works for some features, but not for others

Sorry I didn’t read that thoroughly. People use it to enable stylistic sets, not sure about turning off ligatures. You might try disabling calt to disable ligatures

Yes. twardoch/fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer#20 (comment)
Due to the lack of binding to Unicode, OTFeatureFreezer cannot completely bake (enable) cv03-cv06, zero (cv11-cv13), cv14, onum, ss04, cv18, ss03, cv15-cv16, cv29.
e.g. Cannot remap 'numbersign_braceleft.liga' -> 'numbersign_braceleft.liga.cv29' because neither has a Unicode value assigned in any of the cmap tables.

not sure about turning off ligatures

Yes, this software is not designed to disable ligatures.

is there an alternative to that software that can disable ligatures?

Would you ever offer a version without ligatures, like some other fonts do?

I am working on full configurator to being able to turn off individual ligatures, so there will be a way

@tonsky Is there any update on the configurator?
