Beaker: Accessibility: webterm font in 1.0 beta has weird shadowing making it hard to read.

webterm font has weird shadowing making it hard to read - example seen on https://docs.beakerbrowser.com/advanced/webterm

I found this hard to read without having to squint and do weird things with my eyes and my vision is not even that extremely far away from 20-20 so others with worse eyesight might suffer more. From what I can tell, this was a deliberate thing to make it look like a CRT?

Yeah it's just a fun affect but if it's making things hard to read, I think we could give tools to disable it.

The blue shadow makes my eyes think the text is out of focus, causing eyestrain. The font is also quite small for me and can't be adjusted, so I pretty much can't use it except by copy-pasting the text into a text editor to read it.

Not to be too negative! I'm excited to use it when I can adjust it to match the capabilities of my mortal meat body

Okay I’ll get some options in here

Decided to remove the shadow for now. Accessibility is more important than aesthetics in this case
