It looks like those glyphs are drawing wider than the em width of the font. Since it's a fixed-width font, our code isn't expecting that. However, if you turn off terminal GPU acceleration, software rendering might allow for drawing out of bounds. It's not that much slower than the GPU rendering.
More Nova updates in the works! Anything else you’re dreaming of?
