Was looking for a terminal that can render LazyVim. It's looking like Alacritty (definitely not ghostty).

My problem with kitty is, it didn't work for the languages I use, and when I complained the dev said he doesn't care about non-European languages. Alacritty works well for Japanese for me, including input methods, but sadly not for Arabic or other bidi.

    mmhm, and I understand this is generally a problem with terminal emulators and complex scripts.

    again, wezterm's author is very amenable to improve this.

    i don't know how well does the support look like now, but i remember that wez furlong put quite an amount of work to have the visual representation of indic scripts be less painful, for example.

    It works for japanese with an IME. What specifically are you missing?

    Kitty? Back when I tried to use it (uim-xim+anthy), no it didn't, also it broke my xcompose setup. When I asked the devs about it they said they don't care about non-European languages. I do not want to use software where the devs don't even bother to performatively pretend that languages outside of Europe matter. What I am missing is being treated like an equal fucking human being.
