Windows Terminal version

7.3.0

Windows build number

22000.1219

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Install custom font (typeface), for example "SauceCodePro Nerd Font Mono" (for use with Oh My Posh).
Set it as default in Terminal settings.
Everything works fine.

Restart the PC.
Terminal throws up an error message:

Warning
Unable to find the selected font "SauceCodePro Nerd Font Mono".
"Consolas" has been selected instead.
Please either install the missing font or choose another one.

Reinstall the font, everything works fine until the next reboot.

Same bug on two 22H1 laptops. Not sure if it is specifically a Terminal problem, but other apps, like WordPad, see the font fine. It was also fine in 21H2.

Expected Behavior

Custom font is working after reboot.

Actual Behavior

Error message.
