Issue screenshot.

When I type my command in, There is a weird space between the text which I type and the white square cursor marking on which letter I am at the moment of writing the command.

It really isn't that big of an issue, as all commands still work, but can get a bit confusing from time to time.

Below is a screenshot of set issue (no I did not enter any spaces, the empty area just appears on it's own and gets larger gradually as I type in the command)

You are using a proportional font, while a terminal emulator needs a monospace font. On the master branch, this is handled a bit differently, but It is still very much advised to use monochrome.

I have the exact same issue with a different font "Cool Jazz".

Please add support for fonts outside monospace.

There is (some) support. You need to disable word mode.
