Create `::` ligature

- Weight requested: SSm Book mainly, but it would be nice to also have it for Book Italic, Medium and Medium Italic.
Ligature description
A lot of ligature fonts have a ligature for ::
where the colons are just slightly closer together. I find that this really helps readability for C++ and Rust code, where it’s used for namespacing, and it’s also nice in some functional languages that use it as an operator such as F#. It shouldn’t be that difficult to create, but unfortunately I have no idea how to create a new ligature for this myself in Glyphs, so I’m requesting it here. Here are some screenshots demonstrating this ligature in other fonts (first screenshot is Operator Mono SSm Lig, which does not feature it)
Ligature variations
Due to how development is handled, not all ligatures are created at the same time. However, we will get to them all eventually. If you would like to help us develop ligatures, please reach out to us via email at kiliman@gmail.com

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