Describe the question

Hi all,

I've noticed that the icons aren't rendering correctly in both Kitty and Alacrity terminals, as the icon sizes appear too small. However, after recently installing the Ghostty terminal, the icon size looks much better and more appropriately scaled.

is there any way to fix it in kitty / alacrity terminal ?

In Ghostty terminal it looks like this :

But with kitty or alacrity terminal it looks like this :

Note: In all terminals i am using same font i.e. Source code Pro Semibold

Anything else?

I'm also curious to know if Yazi supports custom icons or emojis, similar to the functionality provided by the lsd command.
