Windows Terminal version

1.16.2524.0

Windows build number

build 25206.1000 (rs-prerelease)

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Simply use nerdfont icons in terminal

Expected Behavior

Most icons use wider spacing for icons, which was correctly recognized and rendered by the previous renderer.
Now that the optimized atlas rendered is used by default there is no way to display icons properly.

Actual Behavior

Nerdfont Icons are rendered at the same cell size as character, they should be rendered almost 2x wider.

I noticed this issues previously when I tried the experimental font renderer, and now it is by default.

Thanks for the bug report! If you don't mind, I'm going to continue tracking the issue with nerd font glyphs in #14022, which was the first issue to report it.

/dup #14022
