Description

I decide to use Iosevka font. But I want font-stretch: expanded version. Unfortunately there is no easy way to use it (except hacking with the filenames browser loads).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how xterm.js currently handles font properties like font size and font weight, and add support for the CSS font stretch property by mapping it to the appropriate canvas text rendering or CSS style changes.
