The code below enables contextual alternates and ligatures but disables them on your `cursor-line` so you don't sacrifice "editability".

For versions of atom >= 1.13, the "shadow DOM" is no longer used, so to turn off features for the current line you have to use
atom-text-editor .cursor-line {
-webkit-font-feature-settings: "liga" off, "calt" off;
}

Now that Atom 1.1 is out which officially supports fonts with ligatures, which they recommend enabling as seen below, do we still need to add the CSS seen above?
atom-text-editor {
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
}
It appears to still be necessary, but I'm wondering what the difference is, whether there are conflicts, etc.
