Originally created by @jtnord on GitHub (Aug 30, 2019).

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.295
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.3.2171.0


Any other software?

 Clink v0.4.9 [git:2fd2c2]  (http://mridgers.github.io/clink)

Steps to reproduce

open a cmd tab
edit the settings and change fontFace for the cmd profile to something invalid (apending "ZZZ" for example)

Expected behavior

terminal uses a default font and does not crash

Actual behaviour

terminal terminates

This would sound like a perfect dupe of #550 only I am running 0.3.2171.0 and that was "fixed" in 0.3.2142.0
Terminal does not terminate if you start cmd.exe without autorun extensions (clink) with the /D flag.

If you have powershell tabs open terminal still terminates and you loose work (which is why I beleive this is a terminal bug and not a clink one)

Interesting. I can't repro this, as you expected, without clink. What does clink do on startup that cmd doesn't do? Does it print something? Terminal is isolated from the shell by a text stream, so it's only text and escape sequences that could be coming from clink that'd cause us to crash.
