Description
Sometimes in Webviews you want to reproduce the style of editor text.
There is --vscode-editor-font-family, --vscode-editor-font-weight and --vscode-editor-font-size available. As well as foregound and background.
One thing that doesn't exist though is a simple way to honour the users ligature preferences.
It looks like you might be able to use --vscode-editorCodeLens-fontFeatureSettings
Should we expose something like --vscode-editor-fontFeatureSettings to webviews, or is it correct that webviews should use the code lens property instead?
Edit: looks like --vscode-editorCodeLens-fontFeatureSettings is not available in Webviews either.

I think
vscode-editorCodeLens-fontFeatureSettingsis internal only but we could expose theeditor.fontLigaturessetting if there's interestYou can already use it in webviews by reading the setting value in the extension and sending it to the webview. Adding a proper css variable just makes it easier to use
