I quite like the idea. People complaining that there's nothing 'ligature' about the font seem to be too harsh / don't like this particular take on the subject.

I quite like the idea. People complaining that there's nothing 'ligature' about the font seem to be too harsh / don't like this particular take on the subject. "In writing and typography, a ligature occurs where two or more graphemes are joined as a single glyph." (Wikipedia) I consider the (ab)use of ligatures a clever term for the font, considering that it _does_ something related (replacing the text 'file' with a file icon/symbol). I also actually prefer the idea of having actual, meaningful words (which I consider accessible and memorable, much more than any abbreviation) in the source. No idea if this is useful in the wild, but the hack is clever and interesting. Why shoot it down?
