  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)
    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17128.1]

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy & paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)
    Trying to select a font, but it's not found.

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    It should be in the list.

The font that I wanted to use is Bedstead and it's installed:
http://bjh21.me.uk/bedstead/

It (bedstead.otf) works in WSLTTY and Tera Term.

IIRC we don't support any OTF fonts at the moment, and only really a subset of TrueType Fonts as well. I'll add it to the backlog.

A workaround is to convert bedstead.otf to bedstead.ttf using https://everythingfonts.com/otf-to-ttf , and after installing that worked in WSL Ubuntu from Store.

Thanks for reporting. Closing since we don't support OpenType at this time
