No color on macOS Big Sur

[balupton]

• SCP cannot be styled in various apps (e.g. Sublime Text, VSCode) on macOS 11 (Big Sur) adobe-fonts/source-code-pro#250
• Font is always black after installing macOS 11 (Source Code Pro font or derivatives need to be updated) microsoft/vscode#100840

This seems to be an issue with a SVG table, we need someone to remove those from Hasklig to regain support

[patricklewis]

Took me a while to identify the font as the source of this "no text color" problem in Visual Studio Code after upgrading to Big Sur today.

any workarounds for this? Reinstalling Hasklig did not fix the issue, and while disabling Hasklig is the only workaround now, my code looks bland without Hasklig 😢

[thedocbwarren]

Would love a solution. Appears other fonts work that have ligatures.

Is there someone who can do a pull request. Unfortunally I'm not into python font coding stuff right now. The last commit was on Feb. 27, 2020.

[thedocbwarren]

Will need to build from the patched (remove SVG table) from Source Code Pro then add ligatures. I wish I did this these days as I use to make fonts, but not recently.

You can use Source Code Pro in the meantime.
Google Fonts

I believe Source Code Pro has slightly different ligatures. For example, the arrow function symbol is different. Correct me if I'm wrong here

That font doesn't have ligatures. But other than that it looks the same :)

[hisham-blackbuck]

Oh then I'll have to wait till Hasklig fixes this, because I need those ligatures. I could try Fira Code in the meantime

[tovbinm]

Switching to Source Code Pro worked - https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro/releases/tag/2.032R-ro%2F1.052R-it%2F1.012R-VAR

Looking forward for a similar fix for Hasklig!

[thedocbwarren]

Looking at last update I'd say this might be unmaintained. Not sure how this font was generated from Source Code Pro.
I'm going to guess this could be from a script that merged ligatures from Fira Code.

[jonboiser]

This repo is a fork of the original Source Code Pro repo. You can see in a commit like this one fe063b4 one of the last updates from the upstream repo.

I'm not sure how these updates were done, but it might be possible to update to the latest SCP source, and run the build scripts.

[ehrlichja]

I fixed this problem on my Big Sur installation. I deleted Haskling from Font Book and re-installed it using Brew.

The problem was only showing up in Alacritty for me, but the above steps fixed it.

[tovbinm]

@ehrlichja That did not work for me.

[thedocbwarren]

It doesn't work for anybody. Hasklig needs to be updated directly with the fixes to remove invalid SVG gliffs.

[georgefst]

Source Code Pro has removed the SVG table. I think the same fix is in order here.

If no one else steps up, I'll have a look at opening a PR porting the fix. But it might be easier for someone who already knows anything about creating fonts.

[thedocbwarren]

Agreed, I'm not 100% sure what is needed but can look as well.

[pkq]

Font development is well outside my comfort zone, but I believe this issue is resolved by #125. Until these changes are merged, you should be able to build the font from source using the SVGpatch branch and the directions in the README.md.

[mbg]

#125 / v1.2 have resolved this issue for me on Big Sur.

[i-tu]

Thank you @pkq for looking into this, and thanks @mbg for confirming it works 👍

The new release can be downloaded here: https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig/releases/tag/v1.2

Do let me know if you have any issues.

Happy winter solstice and related festivities to all! :)

I've submitted a PR to update the homebrew cask for this font (my preferred installation method)
