Create `::` ligature about operator-mono-lig HOT 10 CLOSED

@dannymcgee Ha. Impressive 👏

It's been a while since I've updated the ligatures, so I'll see if I can block out some time this weekend and work on some of the requests.

@dannymcgee Nice. How did you manage to create the glyph without the Glyphs app?

It's been a little while so I honestly don't remember the exact steps, but I used a trial version of FontLab 6 to do the actual editing. From there, I exported the modified font to OTF, used one of the commands in this repo to convert to TTX, and IIRC I just manually hunted through the TTX file to find the correct attributes and created a new XML file matching the format of the others. Not really the most elegant workflow lol, but it did the trick.

I use Cobalt2 by Web Bos. He's the one that got me hooked on Operator Mono. It looks great with ligatures

I write a lot of Rust and C++, so I made this myself in a local fork. (I don't have a Mac or I would have offered to contribute it.)

@kiliman If it's useful at all, here's my glyph definition for Medium SSm:

<Glyph name="colon_colon.liga" lsb="-291" width="625">
  <CharString name="colon_colon.liga">
    0 155 201 156 hstem
    226 169 -161 168 vstem
    -113 356 rmoveto
    2 156 rlineto
    -168 hlineto
    -2 -156 rlineto
    411 hmoveto
    168 hlineto
    2 156 rlineto
    -168 hlineto
    -12 -512 rmoveto
    169 hlineto
    5 155 rlineto
    -169 hlineto
    -247 -155 rmoveto
    5 155 rlineto
    -169 hlineto
    -5 -155 rlineto
    endchar
  </CharString>
</Glyph>

I didn't make an italic version or any other weights out of sheer laziness lol. Here's what it looks like:

@dannymcgee Oh that looks great, I've actually been working on a custom one myself (Letty) but it's currently only fully implemented in Xcode. I will say this though, bless you for making a matching light theme; not enough themes do this and as someone who uses both light and dark mode depending on daytime I really appreciate that. (This was one of the key design goals for my theme)

from operator-mono-lig.

Yeah, dark themes don't all have be shades of gray. That's why I prefer Twitter's dark mode over GitHub's. I actually use an extension called Stylus, so I can theme code on GitHub with Cobalt2.

@dannymcgee Off-topic, but what syntax theme is that? Looks like a variation of Palenight but with more violet keywords, I dig it.

Thanks! It's actually my own: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dannymcgee.summer-vacation-theme

@kiliman Ha, seeing your screenshots here actually inspired me to use blue instead of gray for doc comments. Cobalt2 is really nice.
