Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current display (for me) is harder on the eyes. After expanding, I found the fonts are not aliased:
On the left is a windows-native emacs (R, ESS) console, on the right is the same emacs (R, ESS) using WSLg.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to configure/use antialiases fonts (or some mechanism to get the same effect).
Describe alternatives you've considered
None.
