The ligatures are really interesting, but at a glance I process them so much slower than the raw characters, especially the ones that change the graphical semantics such as <= vs ≤. Does anyone have experience getting used to these and 1) does it end up faster? 2) once you are used to it is it harder than it was before to process the raw characters when reading code in fonts that don't have the same ligatures?
