Intellij Turning Characters into actual Symbols

I noticed with the new IntelliJ update, that it turns symbols like >= into the actual math greater than or equal to sign, along with arrows (->) and things like that. How do i turn this feature off and just get the raw characters.

Thank you

It seems like whatever font you are using supports ligatures, and IntelliJ is set to render them too.

To change the settings, first go to “File > Settings” and then select “Editor > Font” tab:

Either:

  • select a font that doesn’t have ligatures, or;
  • uncheck “Enable font ligatures”
