I put your jetbrains-mono in /usr/ports/fonts and installed it.

As HOMEPAGE explains, this font has ligatures for
some program operators like

-> ++ <=

Some programs (like emacs and xfce4-terminal) don't show these
ligatures, but some (like firefox-esr and libreoffice) do. I saw a
glitch in firefox-esr where some characters were 1 pixel too high,
but this glitch went away after I restarted the browser.

$ cat ~/Downloads/sample.html
<pre style="font-family: 'JetBrains Mono';">
if (t->t_count++ <= 5)
puts("Cozy lummox");
</pre>
