Support italic style from IBM Plex Mono

[ginkcode]

I really like the italic style from IBM Plex Mono. Can we have it in Lilex?

To fully add italics, you need to redraw all the ligatures so that they match. That's 90 static ligatures and 57 sequences for compound ligatures.

I would also like italics, but unfortunately I don't have that much time.

I'm marking this problem as `wontfix' for now, maybe I'll have some extra time (or someone will come along to help me) at some point.

Could there be a version with italics but no italic ligatures? Seems like in a lot of syntax highlighting italics aren't much used for operators/punctuation where ligatures occur, often it's just comments and identifiers. I was looking at how to do this but it seems fiddly enough that it might be helpful to have it done here, maybe as an extra download so it's optional?

The feature described seems similar to the one found in the Victor Mono font.

BTW, thank you for doing this awesome work 😊
