Org-mode and Org-agenda-mode font ligatures

[Micah Killian]

Hello, I’m new to this list, so apologies if I don’t know the etiquette.

Is it possible to enable font ligatures in org-mode and org-agenda mode?

In every other mode that I use, “->” will create a right arrow, but in org-mode 
and org-agenda-mode the hyphen and more-than sign remain as two separate 
characters. Is it possible to configure org and agenda to behave the same as 
other modes in this regard?

I’ve looked around for information on this matter. It seems people use 
ligatures typically for font icons and such, but I can’t find any information 
about simply configuring org and agenda to use the typical font ligatures like 
in every other mode.

Thanks,

Micah
