This project will generate new OpenType fonts for Operator Mono that includes ligatures similar to those found in the popular Fira Code font.
These ligatures were custom created using Glyphs. There are even italic versions of the ligatures.
I have updated the following fonts:
- Operator Mono SSm Book
- Operator Mono SSm Book Italic
- Operator Mono SSm Medium
- Operator Mono SSm Medium Italic
- Operator Mono SSm Light
- Operator Mono SSm Light Italic (coming soon)
- Operator Mono Book
- Operator Mono Book Italic
- Operator Mono Medium
- Operator Mono Medium Italic
Operator Mono SSm Book
Operator Mono SSm Medium

NOTE: Because Operator Mono is not a free font, you must have the original font files. This utility will merge the ligature definitions into a copy of the original font. The new font family is named Operator Mono Lig so you can install it side-by-side with the original font.
- The original Operator Mono font... of course.
- Install fonttools from https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools
- Install Python
- Run:
pip install fonttools(for Mac users it's better runpip3 install fonttools- info)
- Node.js (version 7.6+ for async/await support)
Once all the prerequisites have been installed, clone this repo.
From the command line, run:
npm install
Copy your Operator Mono OpenType files into the original folder.
From the command line, run:
build
./build.sh
This will generate the new font files in the build folder. You can now install these fonts on your system.
Add Operator Mono to GitHub code blocks using the Stylish Extension.
Create a style and enter the following:
.blob-code-inner, .blob-num, .highlight pre { font-family: "Operator Mono Lig" !important; font-size: 16px !important; }
.pl-c, .pl-e { font-style: italic; }
.pl-c { color: #4CAF50; }
You can have Visual Studio display the nice Operator Mono italic font for comments, using the CommentsPlus Extension.
Add Operator Mono to Hyper a JS/CSS/HTML Terminal.
