check out ghostty.org I've been using for a while - it's great! ✨ ... and it's just been open-sourced on github.com/ghostty-org/...

ghostty.orgGhosttyGhostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration.

Font rendering looks off compared to iTerm and Terminal. Like it doesn't get the character width from the font but forces its own width that is just a bit too wide. I'll check if there is a workaround.

Found the issue. I’d tested with one monospace font which happens to have a large letter box, and another one that is not marked as a monospace font in its metadata (even though it's a monospace font).

Second font is iA Writer Mono S. It works fine in iTerm, but I get why Ghostty would err on the side of giving it a default letter box width (which is a bit wide for that font). I can use `adjust-cell-width` to change the letter box width.
