Description

The issue got fixed long time ago but it's happening again. It affects both block & inline code elements.

Expected behaviour

Have monospaced fonts rendered without ligatures like on github:

<region>-realtime

Druid datasource
<region>-realtime

Actual behaviour

Ligatures are being rendered:

Steps to reproduce

1. Using JetBrains Mono for code elements.
2. Input any pair of characters like -> or -< ligature in a block of code or inline.

Thanks for reporting. Indeed, that's unintended. Fixed in dcab57d.

By the way, funnily, monospace fonts still have no "liga" set on font-feature-settings:

mkdocs-material/src/assets/stylesheets/main/_typeset.scss

Line 56 in dcab57d

font-feature-settings: "kern";

So, effectively, we changed nothing for the last 5 years 😅
