SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

***
Unlike other terminals, Konsole doesn't appear to follow a strict grid. This
means that weird behaviour happens if a fallback font is wider/narrower than
the original.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download victor mono font and set it as the Konsole font
2. Type in multiple lunate epsilons (ϵϵϵϵϵϵϵϵϵ)

OBSERVED RESULT
Assuming the fallback font has a more standard width, the cursor becomes
misaligned with the text. Additionally, comparing with adjacent column 

EXPECTED RESULT
