Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using glyphs which overlap to the next cell, it is difficult to visually align columns. Subsequent lines with vertically aligned glyphs will often seem slightly askew visually.
The vertical size changes to the glyphs in the "FONT_NAME Nerd Font" and "FONT_NAME Nerd Font Propo" seems to have settled into a very aesthetically appealing form.
It just horizontally challenged, especially for table-type alignments.
Describe the solution you'd like
Would it be possible to visually center the glyphs within the two-cell-width space by adding a left padding, essentially treating them as pseudo two-cell-width characters? By forcing the glyph into the center portion of two cells, it would make vertical alignment much more aesthetic.
For compatibility, the characters would still be "narrow", being seen as single cell width, allowing the current usual practice of adding a single space (" ") after the glyph to continue to work for display alignment of other characters.
Possibly name the font variant something like "FONT_NAME Nerd Font Wide"?
This, with some obvious documentation of the difference between default/Mono/Propo/Wide variants, might solve more of the character alignment complaints.
Thanks for the consideration.
