I like kitty most
kitty has two problems, one is called kovid goyal, and the other, kovid goyal having been one-shotted by the autoconfabulators.
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.
It works for japanese with an IME. What specifically are you missing?
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.

why's that name familiar? calibre?
