No-ligiature version for terminals #35

While the main feature of Fixedsys Excelsior is that it has ligatures for coding, TUI elements in terminals, especially progress bars as seen in cargo ("[====> ]") can look really bad. I don't believe any other version of 'Fixedsys' would be good to switch to in an attempt to solve the problem myself because of all those extra unicode symbols that are very helpful with TUI elements that use unicode, e.g. yarn.

You can always produce the version that suits your particular needs by removing offending ligature sections from the XML file and recompiling. Maintaining the alt version is one too many already :-)
