Issue

The issue doesn't happen on v1.x

Normal font weight (possible on hyper 1.4.6):
old

"Normal" font weight on 2.0
new

I have tried fontWeight: 'normal', fontWeightBold: 'normal', and fontWeight: '100', but none worked so far

Research direction

Reproduce the font-weight behavior in Hyper.app 2.0 using the linked .hyper.js configuration, then compare it with Hyper 1.4.6 where the setting worked. Trace how the fontWeight and fontWeightBold options are applied to the terminal UI; done means a lighter normal font can be selected without affecting unrelated font settings.
