Sublime Text 3 now has font ligature support

OT question: a lot of fonts come in all possible formats. If I am just installing them on my macOS box, does it matter which format I install? Is there a reason to prefer say .woff2 over .ttf? Or are they functionally equivalent?

woff and woff2 are web font standards. I don't think they're supported by most operating systems.

Well fair enough, but what about TTF vs OTF?

OpenType (otf) is more modern than TrueType (ttf) and supports more functionality and features within the font.

So if installing a font locally, OTF is the way to go if it's available?
