Displaying comparison operators as ≤ , ≥ and ≠ etc. ??

Hi,

There's a switch somewhere in CCS12 that allows the display of special characters for the common C type operators such as !=, <= and >= etc. I had this active previously since I noticed them being displayed in the source code, but something got tweaked somewhere (maybe it was me) and now they are displayed as default operators, and I can't find the option to have them displayed as special operators ...

Where is the switch in the CCS12 options to display these standard comparison operators as special characters ≤ , ≥ and ≠ please ??

Cheers, MM

    Hello,

    I've never seen the functionality you mentioned. I checked the Eclipse editor properties and can't find a setting for this. Perhaps it came from some Eclipse plugin?

    Thanks

    Hi Ki,

    Not really sure but I never installed such a plugin. I thought it was a useful feature to have, but it disappeared in 2024 ...

    I checked with engineering and they are unaware of this feature also. I'm going though the Eclipse documentation but I don't see anything as of yet...

    Hi Ki,

    I have seen this in some other IDEs and thought it was a coincidence for it to also be available in CCS12. Perhaps it was some type of Windows text encoding setting on my PC rather than a specific option available in CCS12. Nevertheless the result was that such combination of characters where displayed as mathematical difference operators on the actual screen, and this was quite a neat feature to have, albeit no longer available in 2024 ;-( for some reason (maybe due to a recent Windows update ...) It is not a show stopper for the moment ...

    So further to my original question, in fact it was the font selection for the text editor in the Preferences settings. The Font that is required is an OpenType Font such as this Fira Code Font with ligatures. Installing this and then setting the CCS12 preferences for the text editor(s) will enable the mentioned features ...
