[Request] Fingerterm to support scrollback buffer and fonts

Request to implement a configurable scroll back buffer for fingerterm

So for example I can do "ls -al" of a long folder and don't have to pipe to "more" or "less" etc to view the output page by page. I can run the ls command and let everything scroll by and then use a finger to scroll back to previous pages of output.

Secondly, is it possible to modify fingerterm so that I can set alternative fonts and colours for the terminal? Sometimes it helps to make things a bit more readable and also to fit more text in the screen (especially useful to view rows of text that are very wide). Having the text truncated on the right and brought to a new line makes reading difficult in some cases.
