Steps to reproduce

I need to adjust the font to "menlo for powerline" for the Agnoster theme "oh my zsh" in my WSL terminal. When I type the characters "f" or "i" respectively I have no problem, but when I type "fi" they are distorted.

Please fill out the issue template. The version numbers aren't there just for fun, but (in this case) to know which font renderer you're using. 😟

The "fi" you're seeing there is a so called ligature. That ligature in particular is very common: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_(writing)#Latin_alphabet

You can disable ligatures by opening your settings with Ctrl+Shift+, and adding this:

{
    "profiles":
    {
        "whatever your profile name is, for instance 'defaults'": {
            "font": {
                "features": {
                    "liga": 0
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

I should mention that we intentionally support ligatures by default as they're fairly important for a number of fonts. Most coding fonts don't have a fi ligature.
