Created attachment 154887 [details] Both issues on Konsole, Kitty, and Alacritty with both black and white backgrounds SUMMARY Some glpyhs cast a "shadow" (aliasing?) on the previous cell. The effect is more pronounced with small font sizes, and disappears with huge font sizes. The top/bottom of some glyphs also don't appear to align with the top/bottom of the cell, see the attachment for obvious examples. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install and use a font with powerline + powerline-extra glyphs (any nerd font) 2. Print buggy glyphs: echo -e "nf-pl-left_hard_divider \x1b[45m\x1b[35m\xee\x82\xb0\x1b[0m\x1b[35m\xee\x82\xb0 \x1b[0m nf-ple-right_half_circle_thick \x1b[45m\x1b[35m\xee\x82\xb4\x1b[0m\x1b[35m\xee\x82\xb4" # Escape codes are: background magenta -> foreground magenta -> 'nf-pl-left_hard_divider' nerd font glyph -> reset colors -> foreground magenta -> nf-pl-left_hard_divider -> reset colors -> repeat using nf-ple-right_half_circle_thick instead OBSERVED RESULT At font size 11 a ~1px shadow is cast on the border of the previous cell. The second glyph(s) don't align with the edges of the previous cells. EXPECTED RESULT There is no shadow and the glyphs are aligned. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Out of the 3 terminals tested, Konsole was the most jarring, with Kitty being the only one with no visible problems. Possibly related to bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453086 and merge request https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/722, although this seems like it might be more of an aliasing issue. Screenshot setup: * Terminals using JetBrainsMonoNL Nerd Font Mono (works with all nerd fonts I tested) * Terminals using size 11 font * Terminal windows set to be fully transparent * Background wallpaper set to #000000 and #ffffff * Example used #06969A as the main font color via starship to avoid having to recreate the same color scheme in all 3. The issue applies regardless of whether escape codes or fixed colors were used, though.
