Font rendering looks off compared to iTerm and Terminal. Like it doesn't get the character width from the font but forces its own width that is just a bit too wide. I'll check if there is a workaround.

Found the issue. I’d tested with one monospace font which happens to have a large letter box, and another one that is not marked as a monospace font in its metadata (even though it's a monospace font).

Second font is iA Writer Mono S. It works fine in iTerm, but I get why Ghostty would err on the side of giving it a default letter box width (which is a bit wide for that font). I can use `adjust-cell-width` to change the letter box width.
