Description
- I am on the latest Hyper.app version
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
- OS version and name: macOS version: 10.15.7
- Hyper.app version: Hyper 3.1.2 (stable)
- Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/tbremer/e87a79d4571f43119981b937fd444c01

Issue
Ligature support with the font MonoLisa appears limited in some capacity. Attached are three screen grabs, MonoLisa in Hyper, Fira Code in Hyper, and MonoLisa within Google Chrome rendering to a Canvas and the DOM.
Using MonoLisa within Hyper most ligatures do not work, however, [|, {|, and #? appear as expected. The same is not true if you render the same subset of ligatures to a Canvas element within Chrome itself.
I have opened an issue with MonoLisa as well, but I don't think this is necessarily an issue with the font itself.
Link to Codepen where you can see MonoLisa working correctly, however, this assume MonoLisa is installed on your system.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the MonoLisa ligature behavior in vanilla Hyper and compare it with the linked CodePen's Chrome canvas and DOM rendering. Use the provided .hyper.js gist and devtools guidance while tracing the terminal font-rendering path; done means the reported MonoLisa ligatures render consistently in Hyper.
