Ruined by ligatures. Use them in your own private coding time, not when trying to communicate with others. It obfuscates rather than clarifies.


I actually agree. I don’t even use them in my private code. I will look into removing them from my blog!


For a quick fix: `font-variant-ligatures: none;` on body or similar.


For users: paste the following in console

  document.body.style.setProperty('font-variant-ligatures','none','important');


I use NoScript and only got them after enabling JS for the blog page


I have this as !important in a global userStyle for code, pre, kbd, samp elements.


'Ruined' is a bit strong, isn't it?
