Small letter g, j, p, y have their tail slightly clipped in Kitty

Describe your problem here. Provide pictures and files if necessary.

Probably even f but it's hard to tell.

Found some more for capital letters.

I suggest you create a feature request to Kitty for better processing italics. I cannot mark every letter that has horizontal overshoot as "ligature part"...

Could it help if Iosevka Term is used instead?

[mcchrish]

Still the same even with Iosevka Term.

It looks like this is a common issue with Kitty.

I cannot simply make all tall slanted letters as a part of a ligature -- it may significantly reduce the performance in Kitty in another way. Perhaps you can override the slope angle to somehow workaround this with a custom build.

[be5invis]

If I keep the key metrics (letter width, sidebearing) between upright and italics, bleeding of many letter WILL happen. A blocky letter like M will have much wider occupied space when get slanted.

[mcchrish]

That's what I did with my custom build actually. I reduced the angle to 9 and the characters are not clipped anymore.
