VS code operator mono light does not seem to support ligatures

Question

After along wait I got the operator mono font, this is the setting I have in my settings file in VS code.

{
    "editor.fontFamily": "Operator Mono Light",
    "editor.fontSize": 14,
    "editor.fontLigatures": true,
}

However ligatures does not seem to work, do I need to set an additional setting.

Answer 1

I created a project that will add custom ligatures directly to the Operator Mono font. It even includes italic ligatures.
