Hi Douglas,

Hmm, I have the same problem. I use ProFont (which is monospaced) and in TextEdit it seems ligatures are enabled by default. (For example, 'file' becomes three glyphs, taking up the width of three glyphs.) I can turn this off with Format > Font > Ligature > Use None. Perhaps there should be an option to make this the default for plain text files?


Generally speaking the "Use Default" ligature setting is intended to let the decision be left up to the font, which ought to be the right thing in most cases. One would think that a font intended to be monospaced would not have these ligatures enabled by default for ordinary layout, although they might be present for special-purpose use.

Is there any way to change this then?


Thanks,
