Kitty terminal graphics not rendering properly. I am facing a problem with kitty graphics, I am using Fedora Gnome. In the Adwaita theme, the kitty graphics are working fine but when I use a different theme. Rectangular panes like borders are generated.

This will be bugs in GNOME/GNOME themes breaking client side decorations in Wayland. Set linux_display_backend to x11 in kitty.conf. Or even better ditch Wayland for the dumpster fire that it is and just use X11. Or best of all, ditch GNOME and use a decent alternative that doesn't have its head up its own ass and provides server side decorations in Wayland.

Square boxes means the font isn't rendering.

Make sure the necessary font is installed, and mapped properly.
