How to use this font in code editor?

[blahgeek]

Hi, I'm interested in your use case of this font: "I wanted zero width characters in my code to be not zero width ... make it so that certain characters are displayed by this font." Could you please share your configuration to achieve this in VS Code?

As for other code editors that does not support css styling, is that possible to generate only certain characters (e.g. the ZERO-WIDTH SPACE) in this font and list this font before other font, so that certain characters would be displayed as tofu in this font while others fallback to normal?

Thanks!

hehe, im working on that.

As for generating only certain characters, tomorrow I'll add the ability to only generate certain characters. It will also accept files as input. I'll maintain a list of characters that are zero width and annoying in code here.

You can now generate a list of characters

I set this as the font for vss code, tried seeing 👨‍💻 as three characters. Nope, just two. sigh not even a normal zero width space shows up correctly, just invisible. Well, that sucks.

Please can you make the tofu.ttc file available? I've tried several times to generate it, without success.
