Unable to Use Fira Code Font Ligature in Sublime Text 3 on Windows 7

Tags:

Currently I'm using Sublime Text 3 build 3207 on Windows 7. I use the same version on Ubuntu and Fira Code font ligature is working fine. Have tried many things including this link and also have unanswered question in Sublime Text Forum since February 2019.

Below are my current settings:

{
    "color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Monokai.tmTheme",
    "font_face": "Fira Code",
    "font_options":
[
    "gray_antialias"
],
    "font_size": 8,
    "ignored_packages":
    [
        "Vintage"
    ],
    "theme": "Monokai Classic.sublime-theme"
}

Is there anything I missed here?

How do I enable font ligatures in Sublime Text?

Make sure Sublime Text build 3146 or newer is installed. If trying to use font_options to control ligatures, ensure build 3158 or newer is installed. See if the ligatures appear when using the “Plain Text” syntax for the file.

What is the code to enable Fira in Vscode?

To enable FiraCode in the settings editor: under "Commonly Used", expand the "Text Editor" settings and then click on "Font". In the "Font Family" input box type Fira Code , replacing any content. Tick the check box "Enables/Disables font ligatures" under "Font Ligatures" to enable the special ligatures.

I'm sorry for forgetting to respond how I did solve this problem. I created an issue at the forum: https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/sublime-text-3-build-3207-ligatures-not-working/44690. The reason why I have the problem in the first place is

Under a blank Windows7 SP1 ligatures don’t work. Only after applying some unspecified Windows patches they work
