Font rendering weight heavier than in 2.x

It looks like the font weight rendering in the 3.x branch is much heavier than in the 2.x branch even with fontWeight set to 100, normal or nothing. When setting fontWeight to bold the text is more bold so it appears that the config value is being respected.

2.x 3.3 3.3 (fontWeight: 'bold')

const term = new XTerm({
  fontWeight: '100',
  fontFamily: 'ubuntu mono',
  theme: {
    background: '#111'
  }
});

I’m using https://www.npmjs.com/package/xterm-webfont to load the webfont however the weight is consistent without it.

This is also consistent in both the latest Chrome and Firefox.

@bgw Here is 3.3.0 with term.setOption('allowTransparency', true). There doesn’t appear to be any change with or without it enabled (In both Chrome and Firefox).

We’re moving towards DOM and webgl renderers in favor of the canvas one.
