shauninman: I want to do a Zelda-like where every power-up uses the crank.
neven: oh nice
shauninman: Crank powered lantern
neven: neat
shauninman: time manipulation. lighting/gate control. opening safes. drilling through walls.
neven: rad. rotisserie chicken.

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.
