As the image shows, ligatures work only when a string is less or equal than 3 characters.

It only fails on my main desktop: My Surface device does not have this problem and works flawlessly with infinite long strings.

  • The configuration files on both devices are exactly the same.

However, I tried the same font and ligatures in vscode and both of them are working correctly.


The font and the windows-terminal itself are downloaded from the same source:


Any ideas?
