amosso the built-in macOS terminal emulator lacks truecolor, are folks using iTerm2 still nowadays? or did something better come out?
Skip R. 
@fasterthanlime i use Kitty, but iTerm2 is pretty fantastic too. i think i use Kitty because it has some novel features like highly customizable font rendering which i like. i could probably switch between both without much fanfare though.
Ayush Agarwal@slice @fasterthanlime Seems kinda odd to read that Kitty has "highly customizable font rendering" considering the fact that it doesn't even allow users to disable the italic variant of a font. This was the reason I stopped using Kitty.
Many monospace fonts simply do not have a decent italic variant. Rather than having a true italic variant, they just add a slanted version of the regular font and call it italic. And I'm fine with not using these slanted variants of monospace fonts but Kitty doesn't allow me to do that.

@ayushnix true, unfortunately. the maintainer seems to be unwilling to answer to user feature requests, even incredibly basic ones, and that's a shame.
i've never needed to disable italics though, so i've never ran into this personally. i was mostly thinking of this when referring to a high degree of customization: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/pull/5969
@slice Funny how that PR has SF Mono as the font of choice which is the one that has a slanted variant, rather than a true italic variant, which can't be disabled on Kitty. SF Mono is a perfectly decent font sans the italic variant. But can't use it like that in Kitty.
