Bug#1077632: fonts-jetbrains-mono: NL (No ligatures) font variants

[Frost <forestbeasts@brightfur.net>]

Package: fonts-jetbrains-mono
Version: 2.242+ds-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: newcomer

Hello,

The upstream JetBrains Mono has no-ligatures versions of the fonts these days (named things like JetBrainsMonoNL-Medium.ttf) for when ligatures can't be turned off – most software doesn't provide options for that. It'd be great if Debian included them in the fonts-jetbrains-mono package!

(Technically it should be possible to edit the fontconfig configuration to disable ligatures systemwide, but fontconfig... isn't exactly easy to work with.)

I looked at the file lists for unstable and it looks like the NL files are missing in that release as well, so this applies to unstable too.

Thanks!
