@lhecker commented on GitHub (Dec 20, 2024):

Usually this happens when your chosen font doesn't actually have the necessary Nerd Font glyphs.

Most of the team (including myself) are currently on the way out for some vacation, so it may take a while to come back to your issue. In the meantime, I'd recommend to double- & triple-check that you're definitely using a Mono Lisa variant with Nerd Font glyphs. I can't download or use Mona Lisa since it's not publicly available, but its website only advertises "Symbols and & Powerline", which may not be the same as Nerd Fonts (which is what you're trying to use).

FWIW you can specify multiple fonts nowadays by separating them with a comma (just like with CSS). That way you can specify another font that has Nerd Font glyphs as a fallback. That's not as good as using a font that has them to begin with though of course (because the metrics may be different).

@lhecker Thanks for your reply. In the starship configuration, I used standard emojis, which I'm guessing from your reply is not something Windows Terminal can render. Instead, I have to provide font glyphs and use a nerd font that has those glyphs? Please let me know if my understanding is correct.

@lhecker Thanks for your help. I patched the MonoLisa font with Nerd font and it works as expected. You can close this issue. Thanks again and happy holidays!
