Very cool, just missing a couple of features for me to switch forever

This is a gorgeous terminal that is very fun to use, and it works great with ZSH. I’d really like to switch over to it permanently, but it’s missing a couple of features for me to do that.

First, and this is a big one, it really needs UTF-8 support. Even fonts that have UTF-8 support (like Inconsolata or Source Code Pro) don’t show those characters in the terminal, so it seems to be a limitation of the program rather than the fonts that come with it.

Second, it would be very nice to have split-window support like iTerm 2. I’m going to try setting up tmux in the meantime, but I’m not even sure it will work with Cathode (tmux-powerline definitely won’t work until there’s UTF-8 support). For now, I just have to snap my Terminal windows to the corners, but it would be pretty excellent to be able to go full screen with split windows.

Anyway, if you don’t need those things, this is a freakin awesome terminal.
