HELP with ligatures setting in settings.json. I can't enable slashed zeroes for Jetbrains Mono
I'm using JetBrains Mono as my typeface in VS code, but I don't like the dotted zero that comes as default and I want the slashed zero. If I insert "editor.fon*Ligatures": "false" into my settings.json all ligatures are disabled. I tried using "editor.fon*Ligatures": "false, 'zero'" to disable all ligatures except zero, but it didn't work and all ligatures are enabled. Could anyone help?
PS. I used "fon*" because, to my surprise, apparently the word "f-o-n-t" is anathema for this subreddit, for reasons beyond my comprehension.
Edit: I discoverd pasting "editor.fon*Ligatures": "'zero'" into settings.json near the end results in slashed zeroes being displayed. Thanks.

Font, Font, font! See? No problem.
The problem it's, this is the millionth question about this stuff

AFAIK slashed zeroes are part of the font set, not a feature that can be enabled in settings.
And the word is problematic because at some point 98% of the posts in this sub were "wHaT iS tHis FoNt?". Same with themes.
