            "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.

Also, you can just use chsh to set your shell to zsh instead of starting bash just to start zsh...

I can confirm that the Windows Terminal crashes when "Ubuntu Mono derivative Powerline" font is used in any terminal, not just the WSL one. Workaround is to either use the non-derivative version which works fine, or another Powerline-compatible font.

Yes, I can confirm that some of the Powerline fonts do not work, but not all of them. My suggestion is to keep trying different powerline fonts until it doesn't crash. I currently use "Noto Mono for Powerline"

I had the same problem with "Ubuntu Mono derivative Powerline" crashing the Windows Terminal. But it turns out that the Nerd Font version of Ubuntu Mono doesn't have the same problem.

For my case, Menlo powerline works, Meslo falls bak to the default and Droid Sans Mono family directly crashes the terminal.
