Environment

Windows build number: 19041.21
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.8.10261.0

Any other software? No.

Steps to reproduce

When I open the app, the Chinese characters on the screen (or what I type) is in the wrong variation in zh-cn.

Expected behavior

The Chinese characters (in zh-cn) should be like this. Please notice the highlighted strokes.

Actual behavior

The default descriptions are shown like this. Please notice the highlighted strokes.

Please notice that it is definitely not an issue for the use of a specific font, but a font-variation issue. Contents shown like that are in a font variation optimized for zh-hk or zh-tw, not optimized for zh-cn.

This issue was not present in the first test build of Terminal. It was present in the second of third public beta till now.
