Allow passing custom CSS to terminal

[moigagoo]

One of huge benefits of XTerm.js is that you can use CSS to customize the output. It would be great to be able to customize the styles for themes in FluentTerminal.

For example, here's how Hyper—another XTerm.js-based terminal emulator—allows you to enable ligatures: vercel/hyper#874

Good idea, I will add this for the next release

Keep in mind that ligatures are not supported by xterm.js: xtermjs/xterm.js#958

Hmm, weird, I could swear I successfully enabled ligatures in hyper, at least in some older version. Apparently, things got broken since then.

Do you see any further need for passing custom css now that xterm.js is basically a giant canvas? I don't think there is much to gain from it right now, but if someone finds a case I will add the feature.

For me, it was just the ligatures.

Yep, I agree.

I am going to close this now. If someone has a case for custom css feel free to write here, then I will reopen this.
