I have been using hterm for a while now and it is great. One problem I found is that ligatures are not disabled for fonts with ligatures. For reference, a ligature is when two characters render as one glyph. This makes text look better but is problematic for a fixed-width environment such as a terminal. For instance this monospace font uses turns "fi" into a ligature which should be disabled for proper rendering. The solution should be as simple as

font-feature-settings: "liga" 0;

Heh, I was using those! :)

This broke programming ligatures for Pragmata Pro users. I was able to add font-feature-settings: "liga" 1; to my css to compensate, though, so no worries. :) Just replying so if someone else using this font is wondering why it broke...
