Gaming on Wayland
I always find such statements very confusing. It's like hearing someone if TVs still have that problem with needing to adjust the rabbit ears constantly while 90% of people have plugged theirs into a cable or satellite receiver. Font rendering worked fine in 2003. There is under skin certainly a lot of potentially interesting complexity around font rendering but you needn't much care about the details.
Some distributions look like Ubuntu look pretty good out of the box others look like garbage out of the box. Fedora used to be notoriously ugly out of the box in part because it was wary of implementing patent encumbered techniques. It's probably improved since. Notably firefox when rendering websites with some common on windows fonts in systems without many fonts installed may make some interesting and crappy choices insofar as substitution. If you install common MS fonts or tell firefox that websites aren't allowed to do their own thing you can avoid firefox raining on your font rendering parade.
If you want good looking fonts and don't like how it looks out of the box you mostly want to google good looking fonts in "foo" where foo is your distribution even though most advice is universal between distributions then consider installing some decent fonts.
For example in void linux following this gets good results.

No wizardry involved just rote direction following.
For void the google-fronts-ttf provides an absolute ton of fonts in ubuntu ttf-mscorefonts-installer provides some common ms oriented fonts. Nerd fonts provides a lot of interesting fonts. https://www.nerdfonts.com/ which you can install manually or via a distro package if there is one for you. They provide many fonts patched with lots of additional symbols.
I also happen to think San Francisco from Apple looks nice. If you use the font patcher from nerd fonts you can have Apple font's on your Linux Desktop.
ET-Book is interesting
https://github.com/edwardtufte/et-book
This Emacser made a font out of her handwriting with instructions on how it was done so you too can type like you write for good or ill.

Personally I prefer the font rendering on Linux to Windows and have for many years.

Free Garamond alternatives with fixed italic 'h' ?
This is really late, but I've got one. ET Book is a based on Bembo, which has a more modern italic h. It says it's a webfont, but the Github download link includes ttf files, although it would be easy to convert a webfont anyway.

Berkeley Mono Typeface
It's a bit expensive, and I can understand if someone can't or doesn't want to spend money on it. I would recommend to check out the free fonts 'JetBains Mono' & 'Hack' to these people.
Some people have already mentioned here that Berkeley Mono is not available as Nerd Font. I would like to briefly point out that Nerd Fonts provides a font patcher tool (https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#font-patcher).

NvChad - multiple different client offset_encodings detected for buffer
I'm using Neovim v0.9.1 on Ubuntu 23.04 with NvChad. I've also installed the JetBrainsMono font, as NvChad requires a Nerd Font, but nothing besides that and I haven't edited any settings or nvim files and I haven't installed any additional plugins.

JetBrains Mono Typeface
There are a lot of code fonts on HN today. Rather than make a new post I will talk about some of my favorite that are a little less common. None of these are free I don't think.
Cartograph CF - The one I've been using for code for years. Very readable, almost "comic mono"-like choices of some of the lower case glyphs but in a good way. All the character is in the italic which you will either love or hate.
Quadraat sans mono - The entire quadraat family is a collection of masterpieces imo, but are generally too distinctive to be appropriate for most public-facing work. But it's your computer so who cares. I use the mono sans one for my terminal. The lowercase f seems so out of place there but you learn to love it.
Alegreya sans - Not a mono font, but it almost is so if you've ever flirted with proportional fonts for code this is a fun one to try. There is a lot of careful line width variation that gives a lot of the appearance and readability advantages of serifs but keeps most of the visual coherence of sans.
I like all of these because they look feel more like normal fonts rather than code fonts. They have careful variation that adds character and improves readability for me. I've switched to an almost-no-color code theme that uses font weight instead, and the details like this become more important that way.
And then only kind of related but if you want to use unusual fonts in your terminal but you have a complex prompt setup, install font forge and learn to use something like https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/master/font-pat... to patch in the extra characters. This can also solve your "I love this font but want a dotted zero" type problems as well. Small skill investment for a small return over a long period of time. You'll always be using fonts.

Not sure what icon I'm missing here
I'm assuming you're using a Nerd Font already, since I see the Rust logo and folder icons in your terminal. However, it's possible that your particular font is based on Nerd Font 2.x and the newest version is 3.x. Maybe try scanning your Lua config with nerdfix to identify whether the diagnostics icons you have set (among others) are using outdated 2.x character codes. If they are, try replacing them in your config, and also try upgrading your terminal's Nerd Font compliant font to the latest version (NF's GitHub release page says 3.0.1 is the newest version). Hope this helps your troubleshooting efforts!
