Missing color (possible bug?)

[matoxxx]

Describe the bug
This has me bugging me for a while now. It seems kitty is not displaying one color properly in ascii when compared to xterm. I have identical colors in .Xresources and kitty.conf. Not sure if this is a bug. Also Fonts displayed by kitty are noticeably smaller compared to xterm. Had to increase size to match xterm.

Thank you

kitty does not have special behavior for any individual color. Nor is matching xterms font rendering a goal for kitty. I dont know what asciiquarium is, but the difference in color will almost certainly be because asciiquarium is incorrectly using SGR bold to get intense colors instead of using the actual intense colors. hishamhm/htop#35

[matoxxx]

Ah, ok. I was testing if my color scheme is valid besides standard term color check. Any comments on different font size compared to xterm, could this be because kitty uses gl render? If I use compositor (picom), the ui font size in awesomewm is changing too.
thanks for clarification

@matoxxx Did you ever find a solution to this? It's bugging me too, in gnome-terminal in my case so it's obviously not a kitty issue.

@dreua This code uses a black background color + black castle, which is of course invisible. Search for BLACK and replace it with WHITE. Please go to the project issue list to check the "background color" related issues and try the improved version.

kitty render the color correctly, there is nothing can be done here.
