1.066,ss04still does not work as expectedOne thing that might solve your problem in the near term, potentially, would be configuring a custom build at
Seems related: In my case, the feature ss08 is not working. I built the custom font with the following config
# Family Name # The name you want after "Rec Mono" in your custom fonts. # Example: "Custom" will yield the family "Rec Mono Custom". # Keep under 13 characters in length to avoid potential OS bugs. Family Name: Custom # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Font Styles # The variable axis values for the Regular, Italic, Bold, & Bold Italic fonts. # See https://recursive.design for more information on these. # MONO: 0 for Sans, 1 for Mono (or anything in-between) # CASL: 0 for Linear, 1 for Casual (or anything in-between) # wght: 300–1000 (realistically, about 400 for Regular & Italic and about 700 for Bold & Bold Italic) # slnt: 0 to -15 (negative numbers are more slanted, and approximately equal to degrees of slope) # CRSV: 0 (0 for Roman, 1 for Cursive) Fonts: Regular: MONO: 1 CASL: 1 wght: 325 slnt: 0 CRSV: 0 Italic: MONO: 1 CASL: 1 wght: 375 slnt: -10 CRSV: 1 Bold: MONO: 1 CASL: 1 wght: 700 slnt: 0 CRSV: 0 Bold Italic: MONO: 1 CASL: 1 wght: 700 slnt: -10 CRSV: 1 # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Font Features # Freeze in code ligatures?

Hello,
ss04 is not working for me also. My environment is Win10 x64 20H2. I buildrecursive-code-configusing WSL2 + Ubuntu 20.04.Windows 10 font settings screenshot:

Hi all, sorry about this mess-up.
If you're still interested, please try again with the latest commits. Thanks!
Nevermind; I now realize that I misunderstood this issue a couple of times.
I see now that trying to build the code fonts with ss04 does not apply the simplified
i, as it should. Debugging now...Okay, I think this might be partly due to a current limitation of the opentype-feature-freezer, twardoch/fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer#20. From there:
it won’t work if a glyph is only accessible only through a combination of multiple features, which is not a systemic limitation, just of the implementation.
For ss04, I think the simplified
iis "only accessible only through a combination of multiple features." To get thei.simpleglyph:rvrnchanges the glyph fromitoi.mono- Then,
ss04changesitoi.simpleandi.monotoi.simple
But also, most of the other stylistic sets work as expected, and the g, l, and r all have very similar substitution complexity – even with the exact same suffixing happening: normal to
.mono, then.monoto.simple.Still, maybe there is something unique that I’m not realizing which is disrupting the
i? Perhaps the issue is that theiis made from components to start?I’ve also found that ss07 (simplified italic diagonals) doesn’t work.
FWIW, I have also tried this outside of my main script, to reproduce: I used the FontTools Instancer to output a static mono family, then used pyftfeatfreeze to try to freeze in features. Again, things except for the ss04 & ss07 seemed to work.
Reacted by Aleksandr Sokolovskii and zou000i think i may have run into this issue with ss03 and ss05 simplified f and l. they show as the regular unsimplified form in font book
using 1.084, downloaded the repo earlier today
Hmm, ss03 and ss05 (simplified
fandl) are working fine for me, in both VS Code and in Font Book:
Do they show up for you in your code editor? Which version of macOS are you on?

Totally fair. Thanks for your reply! Well, I think it works as of now, for ss03 and ss05.
put up a pull request to address this problem! i've tested it now with
ss04and found it to be working locally!
After build every feature seems to work except ss04 i.e. "simplified i".
