I'd love to, I switched back to iTerm after not really feeling any big difference in my uses cases, but also hating the crappy plain text with no defaults listed config that required me to use a goddamn web app to comfortably learn and fill out.

There was also some pretty noticeable differences in character rendering between the two with identical-as-I-could-make-them font settings.

> here was also some pretty noticeable differences in character rendering between the two with identical-as-I-could-make-them font settings. I'm pretty sure it was iTerm's problem.

I've tested a number of Terminal Emulators on macOS and Ghostty's rendering is always superior.

You should give 1.4 a try.

    Yeah except when it doesn't. I shouldn't need to reference documentation to change my terminal font.
