Crash: Using a font with ligatures crashes manim-code

[gbin]

Description of bug / unexpected behavior

If I try to render some Rust code with a ligature font like Fira Mono and add a :: it crashes

Expected behavior

Should render the code

How to reproduce the issue

Code for reproducing the problem

    def play_rust(self):
        rust = """
        impl<'cl> CuTask<'cl> for GenericPIDTask {
          type Input = input_msg!('cl, f32);
          type Output = output_msg!('cl, PIDControlOutput);
        
          fn process( &mut self,
                      clock: &RobotClock,
                      input: Self :: Input,
                      output: Self :: Output) -> CuResult<()> {
            
            }
        }
        """
        rendered_code = Code(code=rust, tab_width=2, background="window", language="Rust", font="Fira Code", font_size=20)
        self.add(rendered_code)
        self.wait(1)

Additional comments

[OliverStrait]

Currently there is no support for ligature fonts in Code blocks because it will mess coloring indexing like so:

Crashing is due to unexpected ligature text in Text-Mobject builder.

To resolve this, there is need for custom Paragraph builder that can store proper color indexing with ligatures.
