Basically it looks like such glyphs are slightly too small.

Yes, the Fira Nerd glyphs are quite big - not sure if they're slightly too big though... 😃

But seriously, if you could post the two lines as text (rather than as image), I can see which Unicode glyphs are being used.

I suspect that nerd font icons are not indulging in ideal behaviour as befits a monospaced font. Here's the Cascadia Nerd font:

And here's another nerd font (Bitstream Vera Nerd):

And here's JuliaMono:

Yes, the glyphs are smaller. But they don't need spaces either side...

If you really need the larger glyphs, you could try patching JuliaMono to make it a Nerd Font, but I've not done that, and wouldn't know it would work by overwriting existing glyphs anyway.

I guess they certainly look too small when used as a 'nerd font' alternative.
The julia dots looks particularly small I think.

The list of symbols that I'm referring to can be found here https://starship.rs/presets/nerd-font.html#configuration

Is your point that the Nerd glyphs are not correctly spaced?
