MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for kitty-bitmap [2]:

Broken, outdated 'hack' variant from 2020 of extra repo's kitty.
It has one user comment, from 2021, reporting rendering errors.

Upstream kitty project owner stated [a] that they deliberately do not
support bitmap fonts due to them not working well with arbitrary
scaling. The latter is a core design aim of this terminal emulator.

On the same issue thread, a user recommended alacritty (available in
Arch repo) as an alternative GPU-accelerated terminal with bitmap font
support. [b]
