     (description
-     "Fira Code is an extension of the Fira Mono font containing a set of ligatures
-for common programming multi-character combinations.  This is just a font rendering
-feature: underlying code remains ASCII-compatible.  This helps to read and understand
-code faster.  For some frequent sequences like .. or //, ligatures allow us to
-correct spacing.")
