It's set `true` by default. I recommend disabling this for now.

There is work being done to fix these issues, but it will still be a while before it will be done. I'm closing this to keep the italic issues consolidated, but feel free to checkout some of the other two active italic issues: https://github.com/kiliman/operator-mono-lig/issues/154 and https://github.com/kiliman/operator-mono-lig/issues/157.

Finally got the italics to work properly. Turns out that the fonttools program allows you to import feature (.fea) files which have all the instructions on how to generate the substitution tables. No need to build my own.

This fix is in the v2.4 release https://github.com/kiliman/operator-mono-lig/releases/tag/v2.4.0
