Was it powered by xterm.js before?

In 2026.2.2, I have Tools / Terminal / Reworked 2025 selected but the font selection seems buggy. It doesn't allow me to pick several fixed width fonts, including the one I use in the main editor, and there are no weight settings. Ghostty didn't have issues with the same font, not sure what the problem is.
