<p>Oh, right! And you think DirectWrite would not be available in GTK? (I am absolutely not familiar with GTK for Windows.)</p>
<p>Good hint, I compiled Geany with GTK+ v2 on Linux and ligatures work:<br>
<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6584443/85866030-13fdda80-b7c7-11ea-96c3-d27c2c48077c.png"><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6584443/85866030-13fdda80-b7c7-11ea-96c3-d27c2c48077c.png" alt="image" style="max-width:100%;"></a></p>
