Do programmers use those weird font ligatures in practice? E.g, Rendering `a != b` as `a≠b`. I've only seen them used by people who want to show how far they can push coding style away from the standard monospace low ASCII, but haven't seen any good justification for them.

I use MonoLisa with ligatures and it helps me with reading code. I'm dyslexic so it helps me not go cross-eyed. There's better dyslexic fonts out there, but they tend to be ugly even if it makes reading stuff easier.

Mono Lisa strikes a nice balance. If you want a free version, I think JetBrains Mono is decent too
