Originally created by @intractabilis on GitHub (Jun 20, 2020).

Environment

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18363.0
Windows Terminal Версия: 1.0.1401.0

Steps to reproduce

The issue is intermittent, I am not sure. It changes from one reboot to another.

Expected behavior

When fontFace in settings.js is set to any power line compatible fonts, I expect to see special characters in the command line prompt. Here is an example for Powerlevel10k-Classic theme and Hack Nerd Font, the screenshot is taken from ConEmu, which doesn't have this issue:

Actual behavior

Here is a screenshot from Windows Terminal with the same font:

If you compare 0s in both screenshots, you can see that Windows Terminal switched to some default font, it's not Hack Nerd Font. I have a lot of PL compatible fonts, if the issue is triggered (I mentioned it is intermittent), none of them work, even Cascadia Code PL, i.e. Windows Terminal stays with the same default font. Switching to other fonts, e.g. Cascadia Code works, but, well, without special symbols of course:

This looks a lot like #3257. If you install the font for all users, does it work more reliably?

Yep, this looks like exactly the same issue. Thanks! I'll experiment with the place of installation. So far I rebooted to Linux and removed the font cache, it works, will see how stable it is.
