Research direction
Investigate how ligatures are implemented in other coding fonts (e.g., FiraCode). Explore the Monoid font source files (likely in the repository) to understand the current glyph structure and substitution rules. Review OpenType feature files or fonttools scripts to determine where to add ligature definitions. Consider starting with a simple single ligature (e.g., 'fi') to test the workflow.
