disable_ligatures cursor may be of interest to you, see https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/conf.html#opt-kitty.disable_ligatures for more detail.

[Luflosi]

And in case you were trying to set the font size with that number, see https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/conf.html#opt-kitty.font_size.

disabling ligatures under cursor is brilliant!
