Can you describe the problem?

[bebraw]

@MarcusSterz See how :: renders in the screenshots. It's somehow doing : and a dot in the middle. For upright, it's rendering correctly.

[MarcusSterz]

OK, looks like the path order got messed up. Weird, I don’t recall touching this ligature lately...
Will look into it.

[MarcusSterz]

So it’s a double colon ligature (white space), right? Looks OK in the specimen section.

[bebraw]

@MarcusSterz Yeah, that's the weird thing. I wasn't able to reproduce it at the website either (MacOS, though). I wonder if it could be specific to Windows somehow.

[MarcusSterz]

I looked into the Glyphs file. There is no indication for a wrong path that would explain this effect.

I think we might have fixed this in 2.015. Here's a render from WebStorm on Windows 11:

I sent a query to the user to confirm.
