Windows Terminal version

1.15.2002.0

Windows build number

10.0.22622.436

Other Software

VScode

Steps to reproduce

  • win + u => set "text size" at 150% and apply
  • open windows terminal => text size did not change
  • open vscode and terminal => text size did change

Expected Behavior

when setting windows accessibility text size to 150%, it would be expected text size to change consistently across all MS apps.
ie:

  • open windows terminal => text size 150%
  • open terminal in VScode => text size 150%

Furthermore as text size is fixed in points inside windows terminal, it's not possible to have the same text size in windows terminal or windows terminal from VScode if accessibility texte size setting is not 100%

Actual Behavior

  • open windows terminal => text size did not change
  • open vscode and terminal => text size did change
