ligatures in fonts

[viebel]

I'd like to use FiraCode fonts in the wsl-terminal.
This requires ligature support.

Is there a way to enable ligature support in the wsl-terminal?

This project is based on fatty, that is based on mintty.
It seems to be supported by Mintty since January: https://github.com/mintty/mintty/blob/7649c25e8dff3ad4ce5b365133903a8015369409/wiki/Changelog.md#283-8-jan-2018
wsl-terminal used v2.8.5, it should be supported.

@goreliu, any advice ? Really interested here 👍

In fact, as you can see in the screenshot below, the ligature is properly displayed, but not as I type.
Let me know if it is a Mintty issue, I will report there 😉 .
