My systems, seems to work fine, but I’m leaving this code here in case I have issues, as I might use what Apple supplies when on a Mac (thanks [[http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/emacs_list_and_set_font.html][Xah Lee]]):

Not use what I'm doing with the [[https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el][all-the-icons]] package, but the Doom Modeline uses much of this.

*Note:* Install everything with the function, =all-the-icons-install-fonts=.

Seems like getting ligatures to work in Emacs has been a Holy Grail. On Mac, I've used special builds that have hacks, but now with Emacs 27 and Harfbuzz, I should be able to get --> to look like it should.
