@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (May 17, 2022):

I was just testing this out locally. Apparently, to disable ligatures, you need


"font": {
    "face": "Fira Code",
    "features": {
        "liga": 0,
        "calt": 0
    }
},

Both "liga": 0 and "calt": 0 are apparently needed for Fira Code. Does that work for you/?

Glad to hear it!

calt is one of the many OpenType font feature, in this case "Contextual Alternates". I guess Fira Code uses that to toggle ligatures, rather than liga

I wish this ligatures toggle was in proper settings UI, this was a pain to find and activate. But I'm glad it's doable, thank you.

I wish ...

Good news! In Terminal 1.21 (which is currently in Preview), you can now configure these things through the settings UI.
