/dup #9375

There is a bug in the application deployment platform on recent versions of Windows that results in the Cascadia Mono font (the default font) being unreadable.

Unfortunately, that means that through no fault of your own, you'll get a dialog that says we can't find Cascadia Mono or Cascadia Code.

KNOWN SOLUTIONS

  • Either reboot or
  • choose to "Repair" the Terminal application in the "All apps" list in Settings.
