Linux Manual Installation

-------------------------

With most desktop-oriented distributions, double-clicking each font file in the ttf
folder and selecting “Install font” should be enough. If it isn’t, create and run
`download_and_install.sh` script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

fonts_dir="${HOME}/.local/share/fonts"
if [ ! -d "${fonts_dir}" ]; then
echo "mkdir -p $fonts_dir"
mkdir -p "${fonts_dir}"
else
echo "Found fonts dir $fonts_dir"
fi

for type in Bold Light Medium Regular Retina; do

file_path="${HOME}/.local/share/fonts/FiraCode-${type}.ttf"

file_url="https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/blob/master/distr/ttf/FiraCode-$
{type}.ttf?raw=true"
if [ ! -e "${file_path}" ]; then
echo "wget -O $file_path $file_url"
wget -O "${file_path}" "${file_url}"
else
echo "Found existing file $file_path"
fi;
done
 echo "fc-cache -f"
fc-cache -f

FreeBSD
-------

Using pkg(8):

pkg install firacode

OR

Using ports:

cd /usr/ports/x11-fonts/firacode && make install clean

Enabling ligatures
==================

Atom
----

To change your font to Fira Code, open Atom's preferences (`cmd + ,` on a Mac,
`ctrl + ,` on PC), make sure the "Settings" tab is selected, or the "Editor" in
Atom 1.10+, and scroll down to "Editor Settings". In the "Font Family" field, enter
`Fira Code`.

If you wish to specify a font weight, for example, Light, use `Fira Code Light` as
a font name (Windows) or `FiraCode-Light` (macOS).

Ligatures are enabled by default in Atom 1.9 and above.

VS Code
-------

To open the settings editor, first from the File menu choose Preferences, Settings
or use keyboard shortcut `Ctrl + ,` (Windows) or `Cmd + ,` (macOS).

To enable FiraCode in the settings editor, under "Commonly Used", expand the "Text
Editor" settings and then click on "Font". In the "Font Family" input box type
`Fira Code`, replacing any content. Tick the check box "Enables/Disables font
ligatures" under "Font Ligatures" to enable the special ligatures.

If you wish to specify a font weight, for example, Light, use `Fira Code Light` as
a font name (Windows) or `FiraCode-Light` (macOS).

IntelliJ products
-----------------

1. Enable in Settings → Editor → Font → Enable Font Ligatures

2. Select `Fira Code` as "Primary font" under Settings → Editor → Font

Additionally, if a Color Scheme is selected:

3. Enable in Settings → Editor → Color Scheme → Color Scheme Font → Enable Font
Ligatures
4. Select Fira Code as "Primary font" under Settings → Editor → Color Scheme →
Color Scheme Font

BBEdit, TextWrangler
--------------------

Run in your terminal:

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit "EnableFontLigatures_Fira Code" -bool YES

Source: https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/ExpertPreferences.html

Brackets
--------

1. From the `View` menu choose `Themes....`

2. Paste `'Fira Code'`, at the begining of `Font Family`

Emacs
-----

There are a few options when it comes down to using ligatures in

Emacs. They are listed in order of preferred to less-preferred. Pick one!

1. Using composition mode in Emacs Mac port

If you're using the latest Mac port of Emacs (https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-

mac by Mitsuharu Yamamoto) for macOS, you can use:

(mac-auto-operator-composition-mode)

This is generally the easiest solution, but can only be used on macOS.

2. Using prettify-symbols

These instructions are pieced together by https://github.com/Triavanicus, taking

some pieces from https://github.com/minad/hasklig-mode.

This method requires you to install the Fira Code Symbol font, made by
https://github.com/siegebell:
https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/211#issuecomment-239058632

(defun fira-code-mode--make-alist (list)

"Generate prettify-symbols alist from LIST."
(let ((idx -1))
(mapcar
(lambda (s)
(setq idx (1+ idx))
(let* ((code (+ #Xe100 idx))
(width (string-width s))
(prefix ())
(suffix '(?\s (Br . Br)))
(n 1))
 (while (< n width)
(setq prefix (append prefix '(?\s (Br . Bl))))
(setq n (1+ n)))
(cons s (append prefix suffix (list (decode-char 'ucs code))))))
list)))

(defconst fira-code-mode--ligatures

(defvar fira-code-mode--old-prettify-alist)

(defun fira-code-mode--enable ()
"Enable Fira Code ligatures in current buffer."
(setq-local fira-code-mode--old-prettify-alist prettify-symbols-alist)
(setq-local prettify-symbols-alist (append (fira-code-mode--make-alist fira-
code-mode--ligatures) fira-code-mode--old-prettify-alist))
(prettify-symbols-mode t))

(defun fira-code-mode--disable ()
"Disable Fira Code ligatures in current buffer."
(setq-local prettify-symbols-alist fira-code-mode--old-prettify-alist)
(prettify-symbols-mode -1))

(define-minor-mode fira-code-mode
"Fira Code ligatures minor mode"
:lighter " Fira Code"
(setq-local prettify-symbols-unprettify-at-point 'right-edge)
(if fira-code-mode
(fira-code-mode--enable)
(fira-code-mode--disable)))

(defun fira-code-mode--setup ()
"Setup Fira Code Symbols"
(set-fontset-font t '(#Xe100 . #Xe16f) "Fira Code Symbol"))

(provide 'fira-code-mode)

3. Using composition char table

Thanks to https://github.com/seanfarley for putting this together; extended by

https://github.com/jrblevin.

Put this lisp in your .emacs:

 (when (window-system)
(set-frame-font "Fira Code"))
(let ((alist '((33 . ".\\(?:\\(?:==\\|!!\\)\\|[!=]\\)")
(35 . ".\\(?:###\\|##\\|_(\\|[#(?[_{]\\)")
(36 . ".\\(?:>\\)")
(37 . ".\\(?:\\(?:%%\\)\\|%\\)")
(38 . ".\\(?:\\(?:&&\\)\\|&\\)")
(42 . ".\\(?:\\(?:\\*\\*/\\)\\|\\(?:\\*[*/]\\)\\|[*/>]\\)")
(43 . ".\\(?:\\(?:\\+\\+\\)\\|[+>]\\)")
(45 . ".\\(?:\\(?:-[>-]\\|<<\\|>>\\)\\|[<>}~-]\\)")
(46 . ".\\(?:\\(?:\\.[.<]\\)\\|[.=-]\\)")
(47 . ".\\(?:\\(?:\\*\\*\\|//\\|==\\)\\|[*/=>]\\)")
(48 . ".\\(?:x[a-zA-Z]\\)")
(58 . ".\\(?:::\\|[:=]\\)")
(59 . ".\\(?:;;\\|;\\)")
(60 . ".\\(?:\\(?:!--\\)\\|\\(?:~~\\|->\\|\\$>\\|\\*>\\|\\
+>\\|--\\|<[<=-]\\|=[<=>]\\||>\\)\\|[*$+~/<=>|-]\\)")
(61 . ".\\(?:\\(?:/=\\|:=\\|<<\\|=[=>]\\|>>\\)\\|[<=>~]\\)")
(62 . ".\\(?:\\(?:=>\\|>[=>-]\\)\\|[=>-]\\)")
(63 . ".\\(?:\\(\\?\\?\\)\\|[:=?]\\)")
(91 . ".\\(?:]\\)")
(92 . ".\\(?:\\(?:\\\\\\\\\\)\\|\\\\\\)")
(94 . ".\\(?:=\\)")
(119 . ".\\(?:ww\\)")
(123 . ".\\(?:-\\)")
(124 . ".\\(?:\\(?:|[=|]\\)\\|[=>|]\\)")
(126 . ".\\(?:~>\\|~~\\|[>=@~-]\\)")
)
))
(dolist (char-regexp alist)
(set-char-table-range composition-function-table (car char-regexp)
`([,(cdr char-regexp) 0 font-shape-gstring]))))

**Note!** If you get `error in process filter: Attempt to shape unibyte text`,
check out https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/42. Emacs Cider users may avoid
this issue by commenting the following line from the above config:

;; (46 . ".\\(?:\\(?:\\.[.<]\\)\\|[.=-]\\)")

Char `45` is also known to have issues in macOS Mojave.

If you are having problems with helm you can disable ligatures in helm:

(add-hook 'helm-major-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(setq auto-composition-mode nil)))

4. Using font-lock keywords

If none of the above worked, you can try this method.

This method requires you to install the Fira Code Symbol font, made by
https://github.com/siegebell:
https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/211#issuecomment-239058632

;;; Fira code

;; This works when using emacs --daemon + emacsclient
(add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions (lambda (frame) (set-fontset-font t
'(#Xe100 . #Xe16f) "Fira Code Symbol")))
;; This works when using emacs without server/client
(set-fontset-font t '(#Xe100 . #Xe16f) "Fira Code Symbol")
;; I haven't found one statement that makes both of the above situations work,
so I use both for now
