HA! Sorry! That's a really funny bug. If you change the b in your config file (Jetbrains) to B (JetBrains)... does it go away?

@miniksa you may like this one

What seems to be happening is that we're asking the OS for a font with the wrong case, and it's saying "I couldn't find that. Found this really similar one instead" and we dutifully present that ... "error" ... to the user.

Maybe we should relax the scenario where we display that error - if we pick one with the same (case-insensitive) name, then maybe just skip the warning.

I like @zadjii-msft 's idea. Just do an insensitive compare and don't show if it matches.

Sorry is #9157 the same as this? I think that one is also worth noticing.

It was a case issue but ... it worked before the latest update so some change took it from case insensitive to case sensitive.

The warning was only added in 1.6 (see #8207), so that's what happened there 😉

Yes, that is the central thesis of this bug report. Have you tried the suggested workaround?
