Steps to reproduce

My OS rebooted after an update. Windows Terminal may also have been updated. At any rate, now when I run Windows Terminal (and any time I open a new tab), I get the following error:

I figured I could just set the font to "Consolas" permanently to get rid of the error message, but when I look at my settings.json file, I don't see where "Cascadia Mono" may have been configured. Other than setting the "fontSize" I haven't modified any settings w.r.t. fonts.

Also note that, as far as I am aware, I did not explicitly/intentionally uninstall "Cascadia Mono", although quick peek in "C:\Windows\Fonts" shows that it is no longer there.

Expected Behavior

I don't expect to see any errors about fonts, especially considering I didn't explicitly configure any in my settings.json.

Actual Behavior

Every time I open a new tab in Windows Terminal I get an error saying "Unable to find the selected font 'Cascadia Mono'. 'Consolas' has been selected instead. Please either install the missing font or choose another one."
