This was working with previous builds of terminal/windows 11.

It actually looks like you can't change font at all. Not only limited to Nerd Fonts.
Video describing the issue: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/96848b70-a170-4f89-ae35-8728ebf362ce

EDIT: Manually typing a correct font name and saving will crash the terminal. (Without actually saving the new font)

EDIT2:
Workaround found:

  1. Manually type the entire font name
    a. Do not enter, do not save
  2. Click outside the text label
  3. The preview will get updated
  4. Then you can save

This is a known issue, first reported here: #17987
Because of that we've rolled back the offending change: #17989
Currently I'm redoing the change without the bugs: #18010

Unfortunately, it'll take a little longer for the fix to be released. (@DHowett?)
I'll be closing this issue in the meantime, as it's just pending release. Thank you for the report though!
