Windows Terminal version

1.11.2921.0

Windows build number

22000.318

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Opening Windows terminal with admin rights and as a normal user.

Expected Behavior

I have set MesloLGS NF font as default for every terminal window, which is important as I'm using them with oh-my-posh theme powerlevel10k_modern

Actual Behavior

Whenever I open new instance of Windows Terminal, the fonts break, but when I open settings and simply click on save (everything is set but still I need this extra step to reload WT with correct fonts) the settings reload and everything look perfectly fine.

Installing and using MesloLGM Nerd Font, solved the issue. Any other font is not working right now.
