Additional context this happens with the minimal config too, when trying to set the font using kitten choose-fonts

That's not kitty crashing, that's the choose fonts kitten crashing. Doesn't reproduce for me. Post a link to the exact font you used.

And generally speaking, dont use NERD patched fonts in kitty there is no need for it, NERD symbols are builtin. And patching destroys fonts in various ways. https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/faq/

If you can generate a backtrace for the crash please attach it and I will investigate further, but without that or a reproducer there is not much I can do.
