This is cool! I’m almost more interested in the underline gaps for descenders that got snuck in as a “oh yeah I did this too” feature. That makes underlined text so much easier to read, IMO.
Interesting, that’s the guy that develops calibre as well
Glad to hear about the “opt in”.
Partially blind guy here who struggles to use computers these days because EVERYTHING IS FREAKING TEENY TINY TEXT YOU CAN’T CHANGE ESPECIALLY MOBILE AAAAAH IT HURTS.
Ahem.
Yes I’m a bit bitter :)
Dude. Reading package labels is the same for me. I end up having to take a picture with my phone, then zooming in.
I have my PC screen size zoomed in to 125%.
Getting old sucks.
Another thing is that this standard does not allow setting an absolute size… you can only use fractions, for example, 2/3 of normal size, which can still be relatively big if your normal size is big.
I also expect making things bigger for emphasis (or adding headings) would likely be more common than making them smaller (that’s what I hope at least). Outside of things like mathematical notation where superscript/subscript might be useful (see this comment for some examples).
The problem with the web is that some websites use absolute units that might not scale well (like
px) to define the sizes.
I always wondered if something like this could be possible in the future of terminals. glad to see kitty pushing the envelope! Looking forward to see this used for stuff like markdown rendering. Hoping this gets picked up by other terminals and neovin like the undercurl did.

ok, that’s it, I’m donating monthly
I’m waiting for the day when these enhanced terminals go full GUI and mouse driven.
Wait, are we moving on from vim vs emacs?
Thanks, I hate it :)
