Support for Ligatures

[Scott Palmer]

Something I noticed while experimenting with RichTextFX, when I set it to use Fira Code for the font, like I do in NetBeans, I see that JavaFX doesn't support ligatures.  I found this issue that's been around for quite some time:
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8091616

Is there any drive to get this implemented within the next few releases?  I would help, but unfortunately I suspect it will take more time than I can commit to it.
I’m hoping that eliminating some of the remaining gaps between what JavaFX supports and Swing supports would be a priority, as it removes some barriers to JavaFX adoption... but maybe not?

Regards,

Scott
