Hi, first of all thanks for making this terminal, I've used it in the past year and it has always the fastest and most responsive terminal I've ever used.

However, I find that the rendering of these two box-drawing unicodes is not ideal comparing to other terminals:

• Box Drawings Light Diagonal Upper Left to Lower Right: ╲
• Box Drawings Light Diagonal Upper Right to Lower Left: ╱

How it looks like in Alacritty:

In Kitty:

In Wezterm:

In Konsole:

In my opinion the rendering in Kitty and Wezterm looks the best (the slash is too bold in Konsole). Can alacritty draw these two unicodes in a way that looks like Kitty & Wezterm? Thanks!

Duplicate of #6529.

@kchibisov Thanks for quick response. I read the #6529 and noticed that font.builtin_box_drawing is enabled by default, so from my understanding alacritty use builtin glyphs to draw these characters, so there's something it can do to align these characters, is that true?

@Bekaboo correct, it could be possible to do that just fine.
