Should included Nerd Font have all character cell widths set to 1 cell? 0.36 onwards #7774

The default is to draw the glyphs at their natural width, if there is
space available. The default should be the best appearance, which is the natural width.
Squashing a square icon into a rectangular single cell looks horrible.
If you want to restrict them to one cell then you need to configure it explicitly as you have done.
For your particular issue, the correct fix is to use icons in that menu
that all are square or dont follow them with a space so kitty will not
expand them by default.

Well, the long term solution for that is for me to get around to
implementing native popup windows, then editors can avoid hacks like
pumblend.

Really great to see a nerd font included by default in Kitty now from 0.36 onwards. However, I still need to use:
To get the symbols displaying the correct width in Neovim menus. More on that approach here: https://benfrain.com/how-to-get-equal-size-icons-in-the-cmp-completion-menu-of-neovim-with-kitty-terminal/
I wonder whether the included default Nerd Font should/could always have the cells set to 1? Should that be the default behaviour?
Would there be occasions when this would not be desirable?
