3270font VS quick-look-plugins

Fontforge is the tool I used to create and what I use to maintain my 3270 font, https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font.

It has that 1990's Unix workstation vibes, but, if I didn't like vintage tech, I wouldn't make a 3270 terminal font.

Is there a way to add programming ligatures to an existing font, similar to how Nerd Font patches existing fonts to add useful terminal glyphs like the Powerline symbols¹? I would love to have a ligatured version of that font https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font

1) the last sentence of the article implies that the author of the article abhor them as much as programming ligatures. I don't understand why but preference in taste, color, esthetic are not objective, nor absolute, so I am not the one to judge him.

Being distributed with Debian and downstreams, 11 years old, with 1.5K stars and 60+ forks is, by far, my most popular open source thing. My biggest shame is that it's not software, but a font that mimics the look of IBM's 3278-2 terminals.

And, of course, it's the font I use for terminals on all my machines.

Sorry, but no IDE comes with a proper 3278-like font. Not even IBM's Developer for z/OS comes with one (they commissioned that other font called Plex... who would take seriously a font named after a media player?).

Luckily, everyone can get one at https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font.

Note: shameless plug ;-)

Welp you need to add your own QL-plugin for these non-standard files. You can start from this list of open source QL-plugins: https://github.com/sindresorhus/quick-look-plugins

The most robust way would probably be to find a new QuickLook extension for videos that replaces Apple's default https://github.com/sindresorhus/quick-look-plugins

Nice! Btw, while we're talking about Quick Look, there's a paid app called Peek on the App Store that is fantastic and worth every penny. It adds QL to hundreds of file formats. And here's a list of PL plug ins on GitHub. It has the Better Zip one, and a super cool one for peeking into app packages called Apparency. Can you tell I like Quick Look? lol

There's this https://github.com/sindresorhus/quick-look-plugins and https://findergg.com

If you know about brew you can also find a bunch of extra quicklook plugins: https://github.com/sindresorhus/quick-look-plugins

Works on and off for some things (video previews for example) but overall worth a quick "brew install" in my opinion.

This is probably the closest alternative: https://github.com/sindresorhus/quick-look-plugins

Since I wanted to try quick look plugins I had to turn it off because I'm using Catalina. Now I just don't know if it turn on alone or if I have to turn it on myself
