Re: macOS, I don't think the people currently maintaining Alacritty have the ability or the inclination to fix those issues, some of which have been widely reported. Users keep opening duplicate issues without realizing it. I was guilty of this myself; I'm one of many people to notice problems with font fallback on macOS. While I thought the dev who responded to me could have been a bit nicer, it's probably frustrating for them to go through the same routine over and over. I also didn't really understand, at first, what was causing the problem that I was seeing. So I was not only bothering them, but my sense is that I came off as an idiot. (After poking around a bit, I found that the problem is in Alacritty's crossfont library. I forked it, added a temporary fix, and built my own version of the app from source. It was a happy ending to a not-entirely-pleasant experience.)
