[TxMt] Re: Change visual tab size of soft tabs?

[Kyle Kirbatski]

Hey Graham,

Just wanted to follow up. I was able to edit the Microsoft’s cascadia-code font to add a double space ligature and it looks perfect. Thanks for giving me the idea.

See the attached screenshots ;)

It’s fine for leading indentation but code alignment would get messed up. Ugh. Guess I’ll have to contend with 2 space tab size.
