Some fonts have multiple width variants. Iosevka from @be5invis, for example, has an Extended variant. Terminal should support the use of such variants.

Currently:

"fontFace": "Iosevka SS04"

But when asking for the Extended variant, Terminal falls back to a default font — Consolas for me.

"fontFace": "Iosevka SS04 Extended"

I propose support for width variants either through fontFace or through a new fontWidth profile configurable.

Please add this feature request to @be5invis's epic for similar issues, #1790.
