I was curious how the larger fonts worked in Kitty -- here's the reference for the protocol:

Xterm does this via DEC protocol commands. Well, it does this by specifying double-height, double width, or both. Why does Kitty have to do things its own way yet again?

Maybe cause TTY things are crazy! That mechanism of the computer world is so full of arcane/legacy/defacto "standards"

But how to overhaul? WaylandTYU?

Even the old VT220 had large fonts. They were just not used by most applications

Thanks, I was also wondering! I wonder what it would take (politically) to get Konsole to support this (kind of afraid to just file the bug and find out!)

VTE based terminals can't support this AFAIK. Kitty draws itself with OpenGL and so supports these things. Iterm2 is also a similar story afaik (and Wezterm and ....)
