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).

Research direction
Investigate how xterm.js loads and applies fonts, likely in the main renderer code such as 'src/FontLoader.ts' or similar files. Determine where font CSS properties are set and how to add support for 'font stretch'. Look into existing font related issues or PRs for context. Consider implementing a CSS rule that includes 'font stretch' based on a configuration option.
