Steps to reproduce

I install WSL - Ubuntu in Windows 10, want setup WSL in Windows Terminal. If change profile fontFace from Consolas to Ubuntu Mono derivative Powerline (https://github.com/powerline/fonts/tree/master/UbuntuMono), Windows Terminal will crash and close.

            "acrylicOpacity" : 0.5,
            "background" : "#012456",
            "closeOnExit" : true,
            "colorScheme" : "Campbell",
            "commandline" : "wsl.exe -d Ubuntu /bin/bash -c zsh",
            "cursorColor" : "#FFFFFF",
            "cursorShape" : "bar",
            "fontFace" : "Ubuntu Mono derivative Powerline",
            "fontSize" : 10,
            "guid" : "{d5ed219b-a9ca-4618-8250-d6b965766ba6}",
            "historySize" : 9001,
            "icon" : "ms-appx:///ProfileIcons/{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}.png",
            "name" : "Ubuntu",
            "padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0",
            "snapOnInput" : true,
            "startingDirectory" : "%USERPROFILE%",
            "useAcrylic" : true
        },

Expected behavior

Run wsl.exe with Powerline font in Windows Terminal.

Actual behavior

Windows Terminal crash and close.
