Weird character rendering related to line spacing #112

Nvy:

Even with --linespace-factor=1 it still happens, I need to set it to 0.8 but thats not great at all (it's too small).

Alacritty:

I think alacritty handles that because I set font.offset to 5, similar to linespace-factor option and it works great with no issues.

[font.offset]
x = 1
y = 5

[font.glyph_offset]
y = 3

No matters what font I use.

I think Alacritty has a custom way to draw those characters so that they will line up. Otherwise, they're just normal characters and will be separated by line spacing and things like that.

You might be able to get rid of the spacing by using the --linespace-factor=<float> option, but other than that I don't think this is really something I want Nvy to support.
