Font that was once rendering correctly, now shows empty boxes #354

@bitcrazed commented on GitHub (Aug 30, 2018):

Hey @burhan - in the erroneous case, what font is your Console using?

Are you sure that the font is still installed?

It's possible that the Ubuntu app got updated - I don't believe that should change the console settings, but it might have. Can you post a screenshot of the font dialog?

None of those updates should have anything to do with conhost, so there must be something else at work here.

@Burhan: And do you have a link to the font you're using? Is it this one?

The font is installed as per the properties window.

The font installed is the same one as in your link @bitcrazed

I am not sure if this is related, but in VS code, the font renders correctly

In cmd.exe properties, the font shows and its used by default correctly:

Could you share your zsh configuration declaring the color chevrons?

i.e. echo $PROMPT

And what does your .~/zshrc look like?

And any other steps you took to configure your prompt to use that theme would be useful. Difficult to diagnose unless we can repro.

I am using Prezto, and the .zshrc is pretty stock:

if [ -x /usr/bin/dircolors ]; then
    test -r ~/.dircolors && eval "$(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)" || eval "$(dircolors -b)"

Deja Vu seems not cover these angle brackets and Console need to support font fallback to display them.
Therefore, Get rid of GDI ASAP please!

@burhan, The fonts in provided VS Code and cmd.exe screenshots look different to the naked eye. While the one in cmd.exe definitely looks like Ubuntu Mono, the VS Code one most certainly doesn't.

I wonder if this is the same problem as #3257? There's a lot more discussion there and a potential workaround, selecting "Install for all users" on the font may get it working properly.

Hey so this was filed like, four years ago, and obviously there's been a lot of work done since then. Is this still happening? I think we added some better support for unsupported glyphs in the console in the latest Win11 bits. Then there's also the Terminal, which may have never had this issue at all. We never did nail down a specific repro for this one, so maybe it's gone/?
