Description

Lapce Version

v 0.2.0

System information

Windows 10

##Description
I have compared how the code looks in Lapce and VS Code and noticed that it looks slightly thinner in Lapce and even some characters like 'u' look a little distorted, which isn't a huge issue but feels annoying to me.

NOTE : Font size was set to the same value in both editors (18)

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Reproduce the font comparison on Windows 10 with Lapce v0.2.0 and VS Code at size 18, then trace the editor's font-rendering path. Done means the reported thinness and distorted characters are resolved or the rendering difference is clearly diagnosed and covered by an appropriate test.
