yes, that's by design. symbol_map is meant to be used for symbols not
regular text. If you do use it for regular text you lose formatting
possibilities such as bold/italic

I use `symbol_map` to set the font for Chinese characters:
```
symbol_map U+4E00-U+9FFF,U+3400-U+4DBF,U+20000-U+2A6DF,U+2A700–U+2B73F,U+2B740–U+2B81F,U+2B820–U+2CEAF,U+F900-U+FAFF,U+2F800-U+2FA1F Noto Sans CJK SC
```
But the "bold" Chinese characters are not bold.
It seems that kitty only loads the regular font for `symbol_map`:

Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Is there a workaround for this? This looks like a limitation to me, If fixing it doesn't break anything I say it's worth fixing. The lower case L (l) is too close to the number 1 in the font I am using. This actually cost us a couple of days of troubleshooting because we missed the typographical error. It would be ideal if the symbol_map works for bold too :) |

This kind of thing should be fixed in the font, you can either patch it yourself or request the font developer to patch it. |
