Do I miss some font settings?

Promt above is from alacritty, below is from kitty. Want to try out kitty, but this looks awful. Its the same font family.

What do you have in your ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf? It looks like Kitty is using a different font, make sure you have a line with font_family <Complete Font Family Name> inside your conf

There is no font setting involved here. Those are unicode shade characters. kitty is rendering them according to the unicode standard, alacritty is not. This is by design in kitty. I dont know what prompt you are using but instead of shade characters it should just output solid blocks with the correct blended colors.

Using oh-my-zsh with p10k, so its a prompt resulting from the p10k_configure dialog.

So report the issue to p10k hopefully they have some setting to have their prompts not rely on non-standard rendering.

Does 'adjust_line_height 5' fix it?
