This happens when the fonts italic face has different metrics than the
regular face. You should report the issue to the font developers. You
can work around it in kitty by using the modify_font setting in
kitty.conf to increase cell width slightly, but note this will increase
inter-chracter spacing.

Maybe try Iosevka Term, instead of using Isoevka in Kitty?

See "Code and Terminal" section here:

Terminal emulators have a stricter compatibility requirements for fonts. Therefore, Iosevka and Iosevka Slab all contain two specialized families, Term and Fixed, targeting terminal users.
