Is there any way to add support for fonts with ligatures?

If they're mono, I don't see a problem of using them... any specific font in mind?

Fira Code or JetBrains Mono.

I've tried Iosevka Nerd Font and the ligatures work just fine:

However, I have the FuraCode (Nerd's version of FiraCode) and it does not appear as a selectable font, mainly because the QtTerm component does not list a font that doesn't show itself as "monospaced" (I have the same problem with QTerminal,m but there I can modify the .ini file to change the font by hand...).

P.S.: I've mixed feelings, I want to use PxPlus IBM VGA9 font, but it has no ligatures... :-D
