Created attachment 6568 Terminal screenshot using FiraCode in font size 11pt. Equal signs aren't displayed when I use FiraCode (https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode) as terminal font, regardless of the font-size. Other fonts work fine. The problem might be related to the ligatures in FiraCode that are built from an equal sign plus one or more additional symbols, g.e. `=>`. Update: The left angle bracket `<` is also missing, interestingly the `>` is displayed, even in combinations like `->`.

Created attachment 6569 Terminal screenshot using FiraMono in font size 11pt.
The github page clearly says that the font is not supported by a number of terminal emulators, xfce4-terminal among them: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode#terminal-support Based on the doesn't work list, I suppose the reason is that vte is not supporting it.
@Igor: The info was added two months after I opened the bug report, commit: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/commit/313f65ebb63c3cd1bc71a45dc6f1a133f11225ae Nonetheless, I'm not using XFCE or the XFCE terminal anymore, so you can close the bug if you like.
Andreas, thanks for the update! I will close the bug as I really think it's related to underlying vte terminal widget, not to the terminal itself. However, xfce4-terminal has made a big progress since 0.6.3, being ported to gtk3/vte3 and stuff, so you are greatly encouraged to return to it if you are using a terminal app :)
Great, I will give it a try!
The only thing I need to mention that it's only available from git now, but I'm thinking about releasing a dev release soon... not sure if the distributions will adopt it.
